# Ingredients:

→ Fish

01 - 4 cod fillets (approximately 150 g each)

→ Herbs and Seasonings

02 - 100 g breadcrumbs
03 - 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
04 - 2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
06 - 1 garlic clove, finely minced
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - Salt and pepper, to taste

09 - 200 g green beans, trimmed
10 - 200 g broccoli, cut into small florets
11 - 1 tablespoon butter
12 - 1 teaspoon sugar
13 - Salt, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, coriander, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
02 - Arrange cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly top each fillet with the herb breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure adhesion.
03 - Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish is cooked through.
04 - Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Blanch green beans and broccoli for 3–4 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
05 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the drained vegetables, sugar, and salt. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, tossing to coat until the vegetables are glossy and lightly glazed.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For variation, grated cheese can be added to the herb crust for added flavor.
02 - Pair with a light white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc.
