This is SO pretty, and healthy to boot! Because of a shellfish allergy (and an aversion to all things seafood), I feel like I’m the best wife in the world for making this for The Husband.  Difficult to do when you can’t/won’t test for proper seasoning, but I think it came out great!

The husband really enjoyed this one – and wanted to know when I’d be making it again (Spoiler: I’ve made this 4 times already). He recommends using more red pepper flakes, but I thought the spice level was appropriate for everyone (feel free to add more or less to your taste!)

Ingredients
  • 12 oz cod fillets
  • 1/2 cup quinoa (I used rainbow)
  • olive oil
  • 6 oz green beans trimmed
  • 1 cups ¼cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup artichoke hearts
  • 1/2 medium red onion
  • 2-3 cloves garlic peeled, minced
  • 1.4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2-3 leaves sprigs marjoram roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbs olive tapenade
Directions
  1. Stir the quinoa, and 1 cup of water together in a pot. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 mins. Remove from heat, season, and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add green beans to hot pan and stir fry 2 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes and stir fry 2 minutes.
  4. Add artichoke hearts, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and stir fry 1 minute.
  5. Squeeze juice of half lemon over veggies, and season.
  6. Add ½ cup water and stir.
  7. Season both sides of fish, and rest on top of veggies in the pan.
  8. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook 8 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  9. Transfer fish to a plate, and keep warm.
  10. Stir marjoram into veggies. Cook 1-2 minutes.
  11. Make a bed of quinoa on each plate.
  12. Pile vegetables on top of quinoa, and fish on top of veggies.
  13. Spoon olive tapenade over top.
  14. Garnish with lemon wedges (if you want!), and serve

    I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading very slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my
    end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem
    still exists.

    Ok, your husband is a heat hero. 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes seems like plenty. 😀 Looks delicious!
