Kale Pesto on Cod + Roasted Veggies
From C&J Nutrition [1]

Ingredients
- Pan-Roasted Fish and Veggies
2 (6-ounce) cod fillets (Vegetarian swap: 1 cup of cubed firm tofu)
1 large yukon gold potato
1 large carrot
1 teaspoon olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper
- Pesto:
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh kale leaves
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 tablespoons water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice potato in half, widthwise, and then cut each half into 4 wedges. Slice carrot into 1/2-inch coins. Toss potato and carrot with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until they begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
- In a small blender or food processor, puree all pesto ingredients. Add water, if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to create the consistency of applesauce. Set aside 2 tablespoons of pesto for lunch tomorrow. Spread remaining pesto onto the tops of the cod fillets.
- Place cod fillets onto the baking sheet next to the veggies and bake until cod is cooked through and potatoes and carrots are soft and golden, about 20 minutes.
- Serve 1 cod fillet with carrots and potatoes. Save second cod fillet for tomorrow's lunch (Day 9).
