Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Asparagus
Fresh cod fillets baked with a zesty lemon-herb topping alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a light yet satisfying finish to the day.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillet
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup quinoa, cooked
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried parsley
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and place it on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and arrange them in a single layer on the other side of the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture evenly over both the cod and the asparagus, using a brush or spoon to ensure the fish is well coated.
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 immediately over the warm, fluffy cooked quinoa.
