Instrukcje
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, half of the chopped herbs, lemon zest, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to create a flavourful paste.
- 2.Pat the cod fillets dry and place them in a baking dish. Spread the paste evenly over the fish. Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the fillets.
- 3.While the oven preheats, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, bring 300ml of water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- 4.Bake the cod and tomatoes for 15-20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the tomatoes are blistered and soft.
- 5.Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork and stir in the remaining chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- 6.To serve, spoon the herbed quinoa onto two plates. Carefully place a baked cod fillet on top, and spoon the roasted tomatoes and any pan juices over the fish.
