INGREDIENTS
7.5 ounces Cod Fillet
2 cups Broccoli
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
3 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil and sear the cod fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
While the cod is cooking, steam the broccoli until tender yet crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done, warming it slightly.
Plate the quinoa as a base, then arrange the steamed broccoli on the side of the cod. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the broccoli and quinoa.
Finish by sprinkling the lemon zest over the cod and vegetables for a burst of fresh flavor before serving.
