Ingredients

  • 4 6 oz mahi-mahi fillets, or other white fish like cod or tilapia
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 18-20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
