Pan-Seared Alaskan Cod with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Pan-seared Alaskan cod fillets served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus, finished with a bright and velvety lemon-dill yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Alaskan cod fillets
0.25 cup dry quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh dill
0.5 medium lemon
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook in a small pot with a half cup of water until all liquid is absorbed and the grains are fluffy.
Pat the Alaskan cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet retain a vibrant green snap.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, finely chopped fresh dill, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Divide the cooked quinoa and steamed asparagus between plates, top with a cod fillet, and finish with a generous dollop of the lemon-dill sauce.
