INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Cod Fillet (approx. 170g)
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa (approx. 130g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx. 5g)
2 medium Lemon wedges (approx. 20g total)
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cod fillet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle it with the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Squeeze half of the lemon over the cod for a fresh citrus note.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
In the meantime, gently fluff the pre-cooked quinoa in a bowl and mix with chopped fresh parsley and thyme. Add a squeeze of the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the cod is baked, serve it over or alongside the herbed quinoa, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
