More Than Our Story
Icelandic Cod with Japchae
Table of Contents
Inspiration
This meal comes together effortlessly as the fusion and extension of two existing More Than Our Story recipes: Herb and Aleppo Seafood Seasoning and Plant-Based Japchae. Enjoy!
ICELANDIC COD
Sweet, lean and flaky, wild-caught Icelandic cod is among the healthiest fish in the sea. It is an excellent source of protein, low in calories and rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support heart and brain health. It’s also sweeter than Pacific cod, thanks to its diet of shellfish, crustaceans and small fish.
Ingredients
Fish Filets
- 4 thin filets of Icelandic Cod (1 per person)
- 2-4 tablespoons canola oil
- Herb and Aleppo Seafood Seasoning
Accompaniment
Garnish
- Sesame seeds (2 tbsp)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Edible flowers – ok these are not necessary at all, but really turn the visuals up to 11!
Preparations
- Prepare Plant-Based Japchae and set aside to cool – the contrast between the hot fish and the cool noodles is part of the magic to this meal.
- Sprinkle Herb and Aleppo Seafood Seasoning over both sides of the Icelandic cod filets.
- Heat canola oil in frying pan on med-high heat.
- Add cod and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until desired cook is reached.
- Remove from pan, immediately plate on top of cooled Japchae, garnish and serve.
Tips
- While firm, cod is a fairly delicate, flakey fish, especially when cut thin, so you will want to touch it as little as possible during cooking and flipping.
- Try garnishing with green onions and toasted pine nuts.
- The Japchae is only a suggestion as the Icelandic cod is superb, perfectly complimenting whatever you serve with it, whether vegetables, pasta or a starch.
