Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain well.
- In a saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Place the cod fillets on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place both baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake the Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and lightly browned. Bake the cod fillets for 12-15 minutes or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
- Serve the baked cod over a bed of cooked quinoa, accompanied by the roasted Brussels sprouts. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish before serving.
