INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Cod Fillet
5 Spears Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel. Brush it lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the herb mixture evenly on top to create an herb crust.
Place the cod fillet on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the asparagus spears on the other side, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
While the cod and asparagus are baking, warm the cooked quinoa if desired.
Once baked, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the cod and asparagus.
Plate the herb-crusted cod alongside the lemon asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced meal.
