We always know that salmon is heart-healthy but did you know that cod is also in that category along with Atlantic mackerel, herring, lake trout, canned light tuna, and sardines?

My favorite fish is salmon but this time it’s my hubby’s favorite that I chose to make. Yes, it’s cod, a white fish that doesn’t have that usual fishy taste like other kinds of fishes. 

It’s fish time at my household since we have a few fillets of these ordered for the first time from Butcher Box.(I liked that their seafood are wild-caught cod and salmon…and grass-fed meat too). 

Since we just got our Ninja Foodi Tendercrisp/pressure cooker, I decided to use it for baking the cod. I figured if I’m just making two 6-oz. fillets, it would be easier to bake it on the Tendercrisper. It’s fast, simple and easy….just the way I wanted it. A very appreciated gift!

What You Need: 

2 (6-ounce)fillets of wild-caught Alaska cod, rinsed and patted dry with paper towel

Seasonings – sumac and Celtic salt

Juice of 1/3 of a lemon(I use the less acidic Meyer Lemon). Meyer product

Olive oil

For plating: red cabbage, romaine lettuce, tartar sauce, teriyaki sauce, chia seeds, flaxseeds, sesame seeds

How to:

1. Season each side of the cod fillets with sumac and Celtic salt.
2. Squeeze some lemon juice on the cod fillets.
3. Place the cod fillets on the baking rack of the Ninja Foodi Tendercrisper.
4. Spray or drizzle the fillets with olive oil.
5. Close the crisping lid and with the right setting: to “Bake” at 350F for 12 minutes or when the cod is opaque and flakes easily(you can test it with a fork).
6. Note: you can also bake the cod fillets in a regular oven, of course. I just love my new Ninja Foodi and I’m using it more often now.

How I plated my cod dinner:

I set the cod fillet on a teriyaki sauce with a dollop of tartar sauce on top. 

Then I surrounded it with thinly sliced red cabbage and romaine lettuce. 

I love colors on my plate…there’s white, red, and green! 

You can sprinkle chia seeds, flax seeds or sesame seeds also for added pizzaz. 

Bon Appetit!
