Lemon-Herb Baked Cod with Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets baked with zesty lemon and fresh dill, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cod fillet
1.5 cups Asparagus
1 cup Cooked quinoa
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh dill
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the fish doesn't stick without the use of oils.
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh dill, then combine them in a small bowl with the lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
Press the herb and garlic mixture firmly onto the top of the cod fillets to create a flavorful, aromatic crust.
Arrange the asparagus spears on the other side of the baking sheet and drizzle them with one tablespoon of the fresh lemon juice.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
While the fish bakes, fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and warm it in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Plate the baked cod and asparagus over the bed of fluffy quinoa and finish the dish with a final squeeze of the remaining lemon juice.
