Baked Cod with Lemon-Herb Crumb
Flaky cod loin baked with a zesty almond-herb crust, served alongside nutty quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus for a vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod loin
2 tbsp Almond flour
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod loin completely dry with paper towels and place it on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, lemon zest, chopped parsley, 1 tsp of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Press the almond mixture firmly onto the top of the cod loin to create an even, textured crust.
Toss the asparagus spears with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork while the crust is golden brown.
Serve the baked cod and roasted asparagus over a bed of warmed quinoa and finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
