Spice Crusted Cod Fillets with Zucchini Salad


Mild flavoured and low fat filleted cod fish nicely crusted with a blend of ground coriander, cumin and garlic salt, and then seared to medium (or to your desire), served with yoghurt dressing and lemon wedges on a bed of zucchini salad.

Zucchini Salad
  • 1 tsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic salt
  • 3-4 (about 150 g each) Cod fillets(or any white fish)
  • 1 tbsp Corn oil
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • Some yoghurt dressing, to serve
  • 180 g Green zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1cm pieces 1 tbsp Red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tomato, halved, deseeded, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 1 tbsp Finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  1. Combine ground coriander, cumin, paprika and garlic salt in a small bowl. Rub over fish fillets. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
  2. To make the zucchini salad, combine zucchini, onion, tomato, mint, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice in a salad bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the corn oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until nicely golden brown.
  4. Spoon zucchini salad among 2-3 serving plates. Top with cod fish and drizzle with dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.

Crusting the fish in spices is such a great idea for people who don't like their fish too plain. Brilliant recipe, as usual!

Another delicious cod meal! I'm super jealous! Cod is way too expensive over here! Beautiful dish, Angie!

[Reply]
Sense of Home Kitchen 20/4/11 14:57

My last attempt with cod was not too successful, you cod looks so flavorful with a fine crust and the zucchini salad would compliment it so well.

Love all the spices on the fish. You sure use cumin in many dishes. I still have my bottle of cumin nearly full. I should start using it.

Lauren 20/4/11 23:16

Love that the fish only needs to "sit" for 15 minutes before cooking. Marinating is something I never have enough time for.

I hope you know I'm one of your all-time favorite followers, and have not missed any of your fabulous dishes lately, but right now I'm a bit scattered in my thinking with my "sprained ankle." I love your fabulous cod, with the chopped veggies, very similar with the one I have posted on my previous post (take out-delivered from my son-in-law's restaurant)
Absolutely adore the spices used in this beautiful fish, preparation, and presentation, as well:DDD
