Istruzioni
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cook the millet according to package instructions, typically by simmering in 400ml of water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Set aside.

- 3.Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
- 4.While vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets dry. Rub them with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. After 15 minutes, add the cod fillets to the baking sheet amongst the vegetables.
- 5.Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6.Fluff the cooked millet with a fork. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, dill, and the juice of half a lemon.
- 7.To serve, divide the herbed millet between two plates. Top with the roasted vegetables and place a baked cod fillet on top. Serve with a wedge of the remaining lemon.
