Pan-Seared Seafood with Saffron-Infused Brown Rice and Crisp Vegetables
Enjoy a vibrant medley of pan-seared shrimp and cod paired with fragrant saffron brown rice and a colorful assortment of crisp vegetables. This dish offers a delicate balance of seafood flavors enriched by the subtle aroma of saffron and a light, fresh crunch from seasonal vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp
3 ounces Cod Fillet
1/2 cup Brown Rice (cooked)
1/4 teaspoon Saffron Threads
1 medium Mixed Bell Pepper
1 medium Zucchini
1 cup Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice and cook it per package instructions. Once cooked, gently toss with saffron threads to allow the flavor and color to infuse.
Dice the bell pepper and zucchini. Mince the garlic.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften while still maintaining a crisp texture. Stir in the spinach in the final minute until just wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and keep warm.
Season the shrimp and cod fillets lightly with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, increase the heat slightly and add the seafood. Sear for about 2 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and the cod is opaque and flaky.
To assemble, spoon a serving of saffron-infused brown rice onto a plate. Lay the pan-seared seafood over the rice and arrange the crisp vegetables alongside.
Drizzle with lemon juice and serve immediately.
