INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Red Onion
1/2 medium Zucchini
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
A squeeze from 1/4 Lemon
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the cod fillet on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod bakes, prepare the quinoa pilaf. If not already cooked, prepare quinoa according to package instructions.
In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the chopped red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini in a small splash of olive oil for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the cooked quinoa and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and additional parsley for brightness.
Serve the herb-crusted cod on a bed of the quinoa pilaf, and enjoy your lean, flavorful meal.
