Pat the cod filets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
While the asparagus steams, heat the olive oil in a high-quality non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the cod in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving it to develop a golden crust.
Carefully flip the fish and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and fresh dill.
Plate the seared cod alongside the steamed asparagus and pour the fresh herb drizzle over the fish just before serving.
