INGREDIENTS
6 oz Cod Fillet
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
0.5 oz Slivered Almonds
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the cod fillet dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and half a teaspoon of turmeric powder.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the cod in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the crust is crispy and the fish is opaque.
In another pan, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and the cauliflower rice, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but still has a slight crunch.
Season the pilaf with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then finish with a drizzle of lemon juice.
Plate the cauliflower rice pilaf and top with the crispy turmeric-crusted cod. Garnish with slivered almonds for added crunch and nutrition.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
