INGREDIENTS

8.5 oz Atlantic Cod Fillet

4.2 oz fresh Asparagus spears

0.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tbsp fresh Lemon Juice

Garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet, drizzling with half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still have a slight snap.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod fillet completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

• 5

  Season both sides of the cod with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 6

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 7

  Once the pan is hot, add the cod and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving it to develop a golden crust.

• 8

  Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

• 9

  Remove from heat and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

• 10

  Serve the seared cod alongside the roasted asparagus for a clean, high-protein dinner.
