Zesty Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets baked with a zesty lemon-herb crust alongside tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them 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 baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture evenly over both the cod and the asparagus spears.
Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the entire tray.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
While the fish bakes, warm your pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave.
Plate the cod and asparagus over the bed of fluffy quinoa and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
