Pat the cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the cod in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until a deep golden crust forms and the fish releases easily from the pan.
Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes until the fish is opaque throughout; remove from the pan and set aside on a warm plate.
Add the asparagus spears to the same skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, using the residual heat and oil until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the ghee, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill to the pan, whisking for 1 minute to emulsify into a silky sauce.
Plate the cod alongside the asparagus and drizzle the warm lemon-dill sauce generously over the fish before serving.
