Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Quinoa & Asparagus

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for asparagus)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over the cod fillets.
  3. Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the cod is baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked.
  5. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a separate baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Serve the cod with quinoa and asparagus, garnished with lemon slices.
