Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over the cod fillets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. While the cod is baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and water is absorbed.
5. Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Serve the baked cod with cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables before serving. Enjoy a nutritious and satisfying dinner!
