Steamed Rice

Pan Fried Cod

  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 10 oz Cod filet skin off
  • 2 slices Crusty bread toasted
  • 1 TBSP Butter
  • 1 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice

Sautéed Peas

  • 1 tsp Butter
  • 3/4 cup Green Peas

Cucumber Water

  • 16 oz Water
  • 8 slices Cucumber about 1/4 inch thick sliced

Instructions

  • In a pitcher, stir together the cucumber water ingredients. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to serve.
  • Rinse the rice with cold water and drain thoroughly. In a saucepan, add the recommended amount of water and cook according to the directions on the package. While the rice is cooking, make the cod.
  • Heat skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pat the cod dry and sprinkle all sides with the seasoning.
  • Toast the crusty bread in a toaster oven.
  • Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet or sauté pan. When butter is melted, add the cod and cook for 2 minutes. While the cod is cooking, cook the peas.

  • To finish the cod: Flip the cod and pour the lemon juice over the fish. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the cod is tender and starts to flake (internal temperature should be 130 degrees using a thermometer).
  • To finish the rice: Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve: Transfer the cod to a plate and drizzle with the juices from the pan. Enjoy with rice, peas, and cucumber water.
