Method
Rinse the quinoa2, cover with 140 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Let stand covered for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Season the cod1 with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 5 ml olive5 oil and the juice of part of the lemon6.
Bake the cod1 for 12–15 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Halve the cherry4 tomatoes, slice the olives5 into rings, and leave the spinach leaves whole or tear them roughly.
Mix the remaining olive5 oil with the lemon6 juice and Italian herbs.
Spread the quinoa2 as the base in a bowl. Arrange the cod1, spinach, cherry4 tomatoes, and olives5 in sections on top.
Drizzle with the lemon6 dressing and serve warm.
Tips
- Why it works
- Rinse the quinoa to remove the bitter coating. If you don't, it will make the dish astringent.
- Substitutions
- Replace the cherry tomatoes with 100 g cherry tomatoes or 80 g canned corn. Instead of olives, take 30 g pitted black olives.
- Common mistakes
- The cod dries out if you bake it longer than 15 minutes, it turns dry and crumbles easily. Check with a fork.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, covering the plate. Freezing is not recommended.
- Serve with
- Serve with crusty wholegrain bread or a Greek salad of cucumbers and bell pepper.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
