Baked Cod with Wild Rice and Steamed Asparagus
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the wild rice under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the wild rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the asparagus. Place a steamer basket in a large pot and fill with water to just below the basket. Bring the water to a boil, add the asparagus, cover, and steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Remove from the steamer and set aside.
- Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Place a slice of lemon on each fillet.
- Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Fluff the cooked wild rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley. Divide the rice among 4 plates and top with the baked cod fillets. Serve with the steamed asparagus. Enjoy!
Baked Cod with Wild Rice and Steamed Asparagus is a classic dish that has its roots in the coastal regions of Scandinavia and the Mediterranean. The dish features a flaky cod fillet, seasoned with herbs and spices, then baked to perfection. The wild rice adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture, while the steamed asparagus provides a crisp and fresh contrast. This dish has been a staple in seafood restaurants and fine dining establishments for its simplicity and elegance. Chefs often emphasize the importance of using fresh, high-quality cod and properly cooked wild rice to bring out the best flavors. For a twist, some chefs may opt for grilling the cod or adding a citrus-infused marinade. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in coastal regions known for their fresh seafood, such as Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific Northwest.
