Seared Cod with Roasted Broccoli and Lemon Herb Quinoa
Savor the delicate flavors of seared cod paired with vibrant roasted broccoli and a zesty lemon herb quinoa. This well-balanced dinner brings a refreshing combination of seafood and healthy grains, finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a touch of richness.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley and Dill
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli florets lightly with a drizzle of olive oil (reserve a few drops from the tablespoon used for searing if desired), salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the broccoli roasts, rinse and pat dry the cod fillet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the majority of the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the cod fillet skin-side down (if applicable) or presentation side, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish during the final moments of cooking.
In a separate small pot, gently warm the pre-cooked quinoa. Stir in the remaining lemon juice and fresh herbs (parsley and dill) to infuse the quinoa with a bright, herbal note. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the seared cod alongside a serving of lemon herb quinoa and roasted broccoli. Drizzle any extra pan juices over the top for added flavor, and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-rich dinner.
