Stewart's Secret

Always add a pinch of black pepper to your turmeric. It helps your body absorb the curcumin, making the health benefits of this vibrant spice even more effective.

Method

01. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02. Pat the cod fillets dry. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, turmeric, salt, pepper, and garlic.
03. Brush the mixture over the fish. Arrange on the baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
04. While the fish roasts, place broccoli florets in a pan with 1 tbsp water. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
05. Plate the cod alongside the broccoli. Top with lemon zest and sesame seeds.
