Imagine the golden Mediterranean sun captured in a bowl, where flaky, authentic cod meets the vibrant zest of hand-crushed garlic. This dish isn't just a meal; it is a great celebration of healthy cooking that leaves you feeling deeply nourished.
A radiant, high-protein bowl featuring tender grilled cod, lemony quinoa, and crisp seasonal greens. Perfect for a clean, restorative dinner.
1. Marinate: Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and paprika. Coat the cod gently. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Grill: Sear the cod over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side until beautifully opaque and flaky.
3. Assemble: Divide the warm quinoa into four bowls. Top with a bed of arugula, cucumber ribbons, and tomatoes.
4. Serve: Place the cod atop the grains. Garnish with avocado, parsley, and an extra squeeze of citrus.
