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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add tomatoes and stir fry 2 minutes.
  • Add artichoke hearts, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and stir fry 1 minute.
  • Squeeze juice of half lemon over veggies, and season.
  • Add ½ cup water and stir.
  • Season both sides of fish, and rest on top of veggies in the pan.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook 8 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  • Transfer fish to a plate, and keep warm.
  • Stir marjoram into veggies. Cook 1-2 minutes.
  • Make a bed of quinoa on each plate.
  • Pile vegetables on top of quinoa, and fish on top of veggies.
  • Spoon olive tapenade over top.
  • Garnish with lemon wedges (if you want!), and serve
