Baked Cod with Lemon-Herb Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets baked to perfection alongside crisp asparagus and zesty lemon, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa for a vibrant and nutrient-dense meal.
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
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.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and arrange the spears in a single layer on the other side of the sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture evenly 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 baked cod and asparagus.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired before serving.
