INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, zest and juice the lemon. Mince the garlic cloves and mix with the lemon juice, zest, and olive oil.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the cod fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until the edges become crispy.
Flip the cod fillet carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and toss with a little of the lemon garlic mixture.
Plate the cod alongside the green beans and serve with a side of cooked quinoa. Drizzle the remaining lemon garlic sauce over the cod for extra flavor.
Garnish with extra lemon slices if desired and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
