Honey Mustard Baked Cod with Vegetables

Honey Mustard Baked Cod & Vegetables

Healthy Fact of the Day

This sheet pan meal is a nutritious combination of lean protein and vegetables. Cod is low in calories but high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart and brain health. The colorful variety of vegetables provides different vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Green beans offer vitamin C and folate, while tomatoes provide lycopene. To make it even healthier, use less honey or substitute with a sugar-free alternative. The mustard adds flavor without significant calories. This meal is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using olive oil alone. Consider adding more non-starchy vegetables like Brussels sprouts or asparagus for extra nutrients while keeping calories low.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
