Cod Combo Plus
Ingredients
- 8 oz cod (fresh)
- 1 cup cauliflower
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 cup asparagus
- 1 cup white rice (pre-cooked)
Cooking Instructions
To prepare the cod:
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Brush the cod lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Place the cod on the grill over indirect heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cod releases easily from the grill grates when lifted with a spatula.
- Carefully flip the cod and continue cooking it for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Brush the cod lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Place the cod on the grill over indirect heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes (until the cod releases easily from the grill grates when lifted with a spatula).
- Carefully flip the cod and continue cooking it for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
To sauté the veggies:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, spray with olive oil.
- Place the mushrooms and asparagus in the pan and cook (stirring frequently) until the mushrooms are golden brown and the asparagus is tender.
To prepare the white rice:
- Boil water and add salt (for every cup of rice use 1¾ cups of water).
- Once the water is boiling pour the white rice into the boiling water. Stir once or just enough to separate the rice (don’t over-stir as it can cause the rice to become sticky).
- Cover the pot (be sure the lid fits tightly on the pot), turn down the heat to its lowest setting, and let the rice simmer for about 18 minutes.
- Remove the rice from heat and allow the rice to steam in the covered pot for another 5 minutes.
- Gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains before serving.
Once all of the food is done cooking, plate it and enjoy!
