Lemon-Herb Baked Cod with Cauliflower Rice and Green Beans

Cod bakes up flaky and tender in about 15 minutes with just olive oil, lemon, garlic, and whatever soft herbs you have on hand. Cauliflower rice underneath soaks up the pan juices, and a side of steamed green beans keeps the whole plate simple and light.

We kept the fish portion moderate and used lemon and fresh herbs instead of salt, which makes this a genuinely lower-sodium dinner with a modest amount of protein per serving. It's an easy plate to lean on regularly.
