Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Asparagus
Cod fillets baked with a bright lemon-herb zest until flaky, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1.5 cups Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.25 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 for easy cleanup.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel on both sides to ensure the seasoning adheres properly and the fish doesn't steam.
Trim the tough, woody ends off the asparagus spears and arrange them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Place the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet and drizzle the lemon-herb mixture over both the fish and the asparagus.
Season the entire tray evenly 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 bright green and tender.
Serve the baked cod and asparagus over a bed of warm, fluffy quinoa and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
