Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz cod, fillet
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  • Rinse dry farro under cold water.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed farro and 1 cup of water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the farro is tender but still slightly chewy (al dente).
  • If there is any excess water after cooking, drain the farro.
  • Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the cod fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Sprinkle the minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper over the fish.
  • Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the cod is baking, steam 1 cup of broccoli until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
