Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fillets or tilapia fillets
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

‍

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

‍

2. Roast Brussels Sprouts:

Place the halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Toss to coat evenly.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sprouts are tender and slightly browned.

‍

3. Cook Quinoa:

Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain.

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.

‍

4. Season and Cook Fish:

Season the cod or tilapia fillets with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until opaque and easily flake with a fork.

‍

5. Serve:

Arrange the cooked fish on a plate alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and quinoa.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish before serving.
