Ingredients

Seared Cod

  • 4 6 oz. cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter

Fennel Slaw

  • 1 fennel bulb thinly shaved
  • 2 tbsp. fennel leaves
  • 1 tbsp. fresh mint leaves gently torn
  • 1 tbsp. capers

Citrus Vinaigrette

  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 orange juiced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp. agave nectar
  • 3 tbsp. avocado oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Fennel Slaw

  • Combine thinly shaved fennel bulb, fennel leaves and capers in a large bowl. Gently toss with Citrus Vinaigrette. Let sit while you sear cod.

Citrus Vinaigrette

  • Combine Dijon mustard, orange juice, lemon juice and agave nectar in a small bowl. Whisk in avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Seared Cod

  • Heat a heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with avocado oil. Add cod fillets (depending on pan size, you may need to sear in batches). Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Be careful not to overcook - the fish will flake and crumble in the pan. If you have skin on your fillet, sear flesh side down first, then flip.
    Remove from pan and serve with Fennel Slaw.
