Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Tender cod fillets pan-seared until golden and served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 whole Lemon
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil and toss with minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until it is tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 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 the fish is opaque and has developed a golden-brown crust.
Place the warm cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the pan-seared cod, and serve the roasted asparagus alongside.
Finish the dish with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
