INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the cod fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the cod on both sides with a light pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Place the cod fillet in the skillet and sear for about 3 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillet during the last minute of cooking to add brightness.
Prepare the quinoa pilaf by reheating 1 cup of cooked quinoa in a saucepan with a splash of water if needed; stir in a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
Steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes, ensuring it retains its bright color and nutrients.
Plate the seared cod alongside the steamed broccoli and quinoa pilaf, and serve immediately.
