Chef's Note
For the best results, make sure not to overcook the cod - it should be just opaque and flake easily. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute with 1/3 the amount of dried herbs. The brown rice can be made ahead of time to reduce the overall cooking time.

Slice half the lemon and place the slices on and around the fish. Squeeze the juice from the remaining half over the cod.
- 7
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Halve 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes and toss them with the remaining 1 tbsp of fresh parsley.

Serve the baked cod over the brown rice with the broccoli and tomatoes on the side.
