Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup orzo dry
- 4 cod filet (about 1 - 1.25 lbs of cod total)
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion small size, finely chopped
- 1 pint Baby tomatoes
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp paprika ground
- 1 tsp Turmeric ground
- 400 ml coconut milk full fat, canned
- 1 cup seafood broth or seafood stock
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- zest lemon from one lemon
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 cups spinach fresh
- dill fresh, for garnish
- mint fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the orzo in a pot of boiling water to al dente, drain and add back to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Season the cod filets with salt on both sides and set aside on a plate.
- To a high sided frying pan add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the diced onion and baby tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes are just starting to burst, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, chili flakes, ground turmeric and ground paprika. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the coconut milk, fish or vegetable broth, fish sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, capers and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat and then turn to low, keeping at a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
- Stir in the spinach until wilted and then nestle in the cod filets.
- Cover most of the pan with a lid and cook on low for 5-8 minutes or until the cod is just cooked through, internal temperature is 145F.
- Serve the cod and coconut broth on top of the orzo. Garnish with fresh dill, fresh mint and more chili flakes (if desired).
Notes
- If you can't find cod, halibut would also work.
- Instead of serving with orzo try rice or quinoa.
- If you don't have seafood broth / stock, substitute with vegetable or chicken broth.
