You’ll need:
4 6-8 oz Cod Fillets can get frozen at Walmart

2 lemons
2 garlic cloves minced
1 lb asparagus ends trimmed and chopped in thirds

Directions:
In a cast iron skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Season cod all over with salt, pepper then sprinkle the almond flour evenly all over fillets. When oil is hot add cod and sear until golden brown about 3 minutes per side. Remove cod to plate lined with paper bowl to soak up any extra oil and so it doesn’t become soggy. Using same skillet sear butter and lemon sliced until the lemons are golden about 1 minutes per side. Add lemons to cod plate. Again with same skillet cook the garlic, asparagus and orzo until the galrilc is translucent and the orzo is toasted about 3 minutes. Then add in chicken stock and lemon juice and turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook stirring until orzo is al dente about 10 minutes. Place the cod and lemons back into skillet and cook until everything is warmed about 1 minute. Then remove to serving platter and sprinkle with fresh dill and enjoy! Serve with side salad!
