Pan Seared Cod With Spinach, Snow Peas & Asian Sesame Vinaigrette
It’s been been “triple H” weather in Boston lately – hazy, hot & humid. We’ve fired up our “decentralized” air-conditioning here at chez Semi-Sweet, but the kitchen gets short-shrift, for sure. It’s pretty decent in here until you start working hard (read: lugging laundry, or, unfortunately, cooking). But a family can only subsist on hard-cooked eggs and salad for so many days, and I was inspired by more Picadilly Farm CSA loot I picked up on Wednesday.
This meal is a 30 minute nutritional powerhouse – especially if you serve it with brown rice (I will confess, we ate it with white). But here’s the kicker – it’s also super-delicious and it won’t heat up your digs too much.
You’ll have leftover vinaigrette. I think it’d be a great Asian salad dressing, drizzle for a wrap with lots of veggies and shredded rotisserie chicken, or perhaps a raw cabbage slaw with cilantro. If you do make this, let us know how you’re using your leftover dressing, will you?
