Zesty Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets oven-baked with a zesty lemon-herb topping, served alongside crisp roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 bunch asparagus
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and spread them in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the other side of the sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and the juice from half of the lemon.
Drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over both the cod and the asparagus, then season everything with sea salt and black pepper.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Divide the warm cooked quinoa between plates and top with the roasted asparagus and cod fillets.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with the remaining lemon cut into wedges.
