Wild Cod with Smoked Paprika
Here is another recipe with my favorite ingredient- smoked paprika. I can’t get enough of this delicious spice. I love the smoky, savory and a bit of spicy flavors it imparts to all everything. I keep waiting to get over the flavor and move on to something else.. but so far it hasn’t happened. I guess I will go with it as long as I can come up with different recipes using it.
This is a very easy recipe and best of all- it is very healthy. I simply coated some cod fillets with a mixture of smoked paprika, salt and roasted cumin. I stored them in the fridge for a bit and cooked them under the broiler (make sure you take the fish out at least 20 minutes before cooking). I had broccolini in the fridge. I made some brown rice and added broccolini to it- an easy side dish.
The meal was delicious…
- 3 to 4 cod fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin seeds and salt in a small bowl. Cover the fish fillets with the dressing and marinate for an hour in the refrigerator.
Cook the fish under the broiler, about 8 to 10 minutes- depending on the size of the fish and broiler heat. Serve with broccolini rice.
My kind of dinner! Thanks, Monica. I have regular powdered cumin. Would that do?
