Seared Cod with Steamed Broccoli and Lemon Quinoa
Pan-seared cod fillet served over zesty lemon-infused quinoa with a side of tender steamed broccoli, finished with a bright and zingy squeeze of fresh citrus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounces Cod Fillet
1/4 cup dry Quinoa
1.5 cups Broccoli florets
1/2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small pot with half a cup of water, bringing to a boil before simmering covered for 12-15 minutes until fluffy.
Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the cod for 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the fresh lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest if desired.
Serve the seared cod over the bed of lemon quinoa with the steamed broccoli on the side.
