Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Wash quinoa well. Boil with 4 cups of water on high heat for 12 minutes. Strain and place in bowl. While warm, combine with lemon-tahini dressing, chickpeas and parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Cut cod into fingers or chunks. Mix gently into marinade. This can be made a few hours in advance or right before you bake. Place marinated cod pieces on a parchment-lined bakery sheet. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Take out of oven and let rest. Fish should not be hot when plating or lettuce will wilt.
