Pan-Seared Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets pan-seared until golden and served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus and nutty quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
9 oz Cod fillet
1.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch Asparagus
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 whole Lemon
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with 0.75 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half of the sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons 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.
Divide the cooked quinoa between plates, top with the pan-seared cod and roasted asparagus, and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
