INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and chopped thyme. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Brush the cod fillet with extra virgin olive oil and press the herb-breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the fillet.
Place the cod on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod bakes, prepare the lemon butter sauce by gently melting the unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Steam the asparagus until tender, about 4-5 minutes, and prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done.
Plate the baked cod, drizzle the lemon butter sauce on top, and serve with a side of steamed asparagus and quinoa.
