Poached Cod with Vegetables

The contrast of the fish with the broth and whatever other ingredients you use can make for a really beautiful dish. Great for company because it looks so fresh and bright and like you really know what you’re doing.

Poached Cod with Vegetables

1/2 of a White Onion, sliced

1/2 of an Orange Bell Pepper, sliced

3 Large Cremini Mushrooms, sliced

4 Small (thin) Carrots, sliced

About 25 Heads of Asparagus

2 Large Swiss Chard Leaves, sliced

3 Cloves of Garlic, diced

2 teaspoons of Avocado Oil

1 1/2 teaspoons of Fresh Rosemary, minced

2 teaspoons of Fresh Thyme Leaves

1/4 teaspoon of Sea Salt

Several Grinds of Pepper

4 Cod Fillets

32 ounces of Chicken Broth

Fresh Lemon & Parsley For Garnish

Prepare all of the vegetables, herbs, and garlic and set aside. Heat the avocado oil in a large pan and add the vegetables and garlic.Saute over medium high for a few minutes until the onions and peppers begin to soften. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper, and herbs. Bring the broth and vegetable mixture to a simmer. Add the cod, cover with a lid, and poach for 6 minutes.

**Serve immediately. If you leave the fish in the broth on the stove, it will overcook and become tough.
