INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon zest.
Lightly brush the cod with olive oil, then press each side of the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the cod fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the herb-crusted cod alongside the steamed broccoli and garnish with an extra sprinkle of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately.
