Lemon-Herb Baked White Fish with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor this light yet satisfying dish featuring a tender, lemon-herb baked cod accompanied by crisp roasted asparagus and a side of fluffy quinoa. The bright citrus notes perfectly complement the delicate fish and earthy asparagus, making it an ideal balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Cod Fillet
8 Asparagus Spears
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Garlic clove
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cod fillet in a lightly oiled baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, then add a minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper, and, if desired, additional dried or fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
Arrange the asparagus spears around the fish. Toss asparagus lightly with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus are tender-crisp.
While the fish and asparagus are baking, prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. If using pre-cooked quinoa, gently reheat it according to package instructions.
Plate the baked fish and roasted asparagus alongside the quinoa. Squeeze a little extra lemon over the top for added brightness, and serve immediately.
