Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Cod with Fluffy Basmati Rice
Pan-seared cod fillets served over fragrant basmati rice and steamed asparagus with a zesty lemon-herb drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
0.5 cup Cooked basmati rice
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the cod to the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and finely chopped parsley.
Place the warm, fluffed basmati rice on a plate and top with the seared cod and steamed asparagus.
Drizzle the bright lemon-herb mixture over the fish and vegetables before serving immediately.
