INGREDIENTS
5 oz Cod Fillet (141g)
150g Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil for broccoli
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa (167g)
0.5 tsp Olive Oil for cod
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the broccoli with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, pat the cod dry with paper towels. Brush the cod with 0.5 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the cod carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, reheat the cooked quinoa if needed or prepare it fresh according to package instructions for fluffy texture.
Plate the quinoa, place the seared cod on top or alongside, and add the roasted broccoli. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the fish and broccoli for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner.
