Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:

      - In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

        - Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.

          - Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

            Make the Lemon Garlic Butter:

              - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

                - Stir in the lemon juice and zest, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

                  Cook the Cod:

                    - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

                      - Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper.

                        - Add the cod to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork).

                          - During the last minute of cooking, pour the lemon garlic butter over the cod fillets to infuse them with flavor.

                            Assemble the Bowls:

                              - If using, place a scoop of cooked quinoa or rice at the bottom of each bowl.

                                - Top with a cod fillet, followed by a generous portion of roasted Brussels sprouts.

                                  - Drizzle any leftover lemon garlic butter over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

                                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Lemon Garlic Butter Cod Bowls warm and enjoy the delicious medley of flavors!
