For the pesto:

1 tsp sunflower seeds
1 tsp yeast flakes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
A glug of olive oil

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 200° C.

For the pesto, add all the ingredients to your food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto comes together.

Tip the couscous into a large bowl and pour over boiling water. Cover, then leave for 10 minutes until fluffy. Leave to cool. Meanwhile, boil the broccoli for a few minutes until tender and leave to cool.

Bake the cod in the hot oven until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
