I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a way to make a healthy and delicious meal that I could make in a hurry. I had some cod fillets in the fridge, and I wanted to cook them in a way that would be both flavorful and healthy. I also had some Brussel sprouts that I needed to use up, so I decided to roast them alongside the cod. I started by marinating the cod in a mixture of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. I let the cod marinate for about 15 minutes, which gave the flavors time to penetrate the fish. While the cod was marinating, I tossed the Brussel sprouts with olive oil and salt. Once the cod was marinated, I placed it in the air fryer basket along with the Brussel sprouts. I cooked the cod for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. I cooked the Brussel sprouts for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and caramelized. The cod and Brussel sprouts were both cooked to perfection, and the lemon-herb marinade added a bright and flavorful touch. This dish was a hit with my family, and I've been making it ever since.
