INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1.5 cups Broccoli
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, rinse and pat dry the cod fillet. Let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Season the cod with salt and pepper.
Place the cod fillet in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Heat the cooked quinoa gently in a small saucepan or microwave until warmed through.
Plate the seared cod, add the reheated quinoa, and arrange the roasted broccoli alongside. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the fish for a burst of citrus flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dinner.
