Chef's Note
For the best results, make sure not to overcook the cod - it's done when it just turns opaque and flakes easily. If you prefer more flavor, you can add a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or dill along with the garlic powder.

8 oz cod fillet
1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh parsley
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup brown rice
2 cups broccoli florets

Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the chopped fresh parsley over the fish.

Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
