Colorful fish dish packed with flavor
Spice up cod fish fillets with a blend of cumin, paprika, garlic and red bell peppers. It’s a colorful dish packed with flavor. I used cod, but any type of white fish fillet can be used. The heat is up to you, if you like your sauce with more spice use a hot paprika instead. In a recent interview with Yaniv Cohen about his book, The Spice Kitchen, he explained how using just a few spices can help create a special dish with little effort. I adapted one of his recipes for this quick meal.
Beets add an earthy flavor and color to the spinach salad side dish. You don’t have to cook raw beets. Cooked beets are available in the produce section. Or, you can find frozen spiral cut beets in the market.
Helpful Hints
