Ingredients

  • Cod Loin (1 pound) *I used wild-caught Icelandic Cod
  • Kalamata olives
  • Pistachios
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper
  • Golden oyster mushrooms (150 grams or a few small clumps) 
  • 4 brown turkey figs, halved (brown turkey and mission varieties work best)
  • 1 lemon

COD HEALTH FACTS:
Cod is a nutritious fish that can be part of a healthy diet. It's a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, and low in calories and fat. Some other health benefits of cod include heart and bone health and cognitive, thyroid, and red blood cell formation support.

ICELANDIC COD:
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) supports the Icelandic cod fishery for its responsible and sustainable fishing methods.

Preparations

  1. Prepare the Oven: Heat oven to 400°.
  2. Dry the Cod: Lay the fish out and sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Arrange all ingredients in a heavy, ridged cast iron pan. Drizzle with oil.
  4. Roast: Place the cast iron pan in the oven for 20 minutes or until done.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and top with zest of one lemon.
  6. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Ensure your cod is dry to prevent excess water from escaping while roasting and browning your mushrooms.
