Savor a beautifully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly pan-seared cod fillet, paired with a medley of roasted vegetables and a fragrant herb-infused whole wheat pasta. The light lemon-herb sauce and a subtle dollop of Greek yogurt elevate this dish into a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that is both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Cod Fillet (~142g)
1.5 cups Cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (~210g)
1.5 cups Mixed Roasted Vegetables (~225g)
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes) with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking tray and roast for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, and a drizzle (0.5 tablespoon) of olive oil.
Season the cod fillet with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the interior is opaque and it flakes easily.
Plate the pasta and arrange the roasted vegetables on the side. Place the pan-seared cod on top or next to the pasta, then finish with a light dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt over the fish and a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of aromatic herbs, fresh vegetables, and succulent fish.
