Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets pan-seared to a golden finish and served with tender roasted asparagus drizzled in a bright lemon-garlic infusion.
INGREDIENTS
9 oz Cod fillet
1.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch Asparagus
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 whole Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them on the baking sheet with 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear.
Season both sides of the fish evenly with the remaining salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from heat, squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the fillets, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving alongside the roasted asparagus.
