Cod fish
Peppers
Shallots or sweet onions
Fava bean or Edamame
Cilantro
Coconut oil
Baking sheet or cast iron pan
Skillet
Small sauce pan
Remember to rinse your fish and quinoa before cooking.
Quinoa will take the longest at about 15 minutes so begin with that. Follow the instructions on the box/bag to prepare.
Cod fish should only take 7-8 minutes so preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Chop up your shallots and bell peppers. I chose shallots because they are less potent and they won’t be cooked long so it won’t leave your breath all crazy and are suttle enough to not overpower the other food.
1 tbsp of coconut on your baking sheet, spread around, and then evenly place vegetables on the sheet. Season cod fish to your liking. My cod fish is not salted so I added sea salt, black pepper, and a bit of chilli pepper for a nice kick, then finished with some lemon. Lay the fish on top of the chopped vegetables. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the sheet and you’re more likely to remove it in one piece. Place in oven for about 8 minutes. The fish should be flaky when done.
Grab a skillet and fill 1/4 inch with water and throw in the Fava beans. These beans were bought flash frozen and no already cooked so I really just needed heat them up in the water. Read your package for proper directions.
So your quinoa is ready. Fluff with a fork. I like to add a teaspoon of coconut oil per serving and some sea salt and pepper. I also add chilli powder or Sriracha sauce to heighten the flavor. Fish cooked, Fava done, pick out your favorite plate and get to it.
Boom, Bam, Voila!
