INGREDIENTS
5 oz Cod Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup roasted Broccoli
1 portion sliced Avocado
2 tbsp Greek Yogurt Herb Sauce
1 large poached Egg
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley, dill, chives)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking tray. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Rinse quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, add the quinoa along with water (as per package instructions) and bring to a boil. Simmer until water is absorbed. Once cooked, stir in chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Season the cod fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with a small drizzle of olive oil. Sear the cod on each side until it forms a golden crust, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Poach the egg by bringing a small pot of water to a gentle simmer, adding a dash of vinegar, and carefully sliding the egg into the water. Poach for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
For the Greek yogurt herb sauce, mix the Greek yogurt with a bit more chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the dish by placing a bed of herbed quinoa on the plate, then add the roasted broccoli and seared cod. Arrange avocado slices on the side and gently place the poached egg on top of the cod. Drizzle the yogurt herb sauce over the top or serve on the side.
Finish with a light sprinkle of fresh herbs and a dash of pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner.
