Seared Cod with Steamed Green Beans and Quinoa
Enjoy a light and balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared cod fillet paired with nutty quinoa and tender steamed green beans. This dish highlights fresh flavors and simple techniques to create a meal that's both satisfying and nutritionally on point.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Cod Fillet
1/3 cup dry Quinoa (approximately 57g)
1 cup steamed Green Beans
0.5 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the cod fillet and pat dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper, or your favorite fish seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the cod fillet in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish flakes easily.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with water (use a 2:1 water-to-quinoa ratio). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and water is absorbed.
Steam the green beans until they are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. You can do this on the stovetop using a steamer basket or in the microwave with a small amount of water.
Plate the seared cod fillet with a serving of quinoa and steamed green beans. Enjoy your balanced and nutritious dinner.
