Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets pan-seared until golden and served over fluffy quinoa with tender oven-roasted asparagus spears and a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
12 medium asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the asparagus spears with the extra virgin olive oil, half the sea salt, and half the black pepper on the prepared sheet.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the ghee in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and divide it between serving plates.
Top the quinoa with the pan-seared cod and roasted asparagus, then finish with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
