INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod Fillet
3/4 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Place the cod fillet on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and squeeze lemon juice evenly over the top.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and dill over the cod. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes while you steam the asparagus.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod is baking, steam the asparagus until bright green and just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked. Warm if necessary.
For the Greek yogurt sauce, mix together the Greek yogurt, a dash of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Plate the baked cod alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice, then drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce over the cod or serve it on the side.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your clean, balanced meal.
