Prepare the quinoa by rinsing thoroughly and simmering in water or vegetable broth until fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the cod in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without moving it to develop a golden crust.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Arrange the quinoa and steamed broccoli on a plate, top with the seared cod, and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the fish before serving.
