INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil (for seasoning cod)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil (for quinoa)
1 cup Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel. Place it in a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the chopped parsley and dill, and add the zest of half a lemon. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Press the herb and breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the cod fillet to form a crust.
Drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the fish.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, combine the cooked quinoa with 1 tsp olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to incorporate.
Lightly steam the spinach just until wilted.
Plate the baked cod alongside the quinoa and spinach. Serve immediately, garnished with a wedge of lemon if desired.
