Seared Cod Fillet with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared Atlantic cod seasoned with lemon and garlic, paired with oven-roasted asparagus spears for a light meal with a buttery, flaky texture.
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
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still have a slight snap.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod fillet completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season both sides of the cod with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from heat and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Serve the seared cod alongside the roasted asparagus for a clean, high-protein dinner.
