INGREDIENTS
1 cod fillet (7 oz/198g)
0.5 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh mixed herbs (parsley, dill, basil)
1 lemon (zest and juice)
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cod fillet on a lined baking tray. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper.
Brush the herb mixture evenly over the cod fillet, ensuring a light and crisp crust forms.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare 0.5 cup of cooked quinoa if not already done.
To serve, plate the baked fish alongside the quinoa and garnish with a few extra herbs and a wedge of lemon.
