Honey-Garlic Cod and Coconut Rice
This is the only fish dish, other than the Pistachio-crusted Halibut, that I eat, besides salmon. Also, cod isn’t really a fish. You know that, right? Like…you can’t have a pet cod. It just sort of means ‘white fish’. Anyway…the meld of flavors with the honey, garlic, cashews and coconut…wow. A little bit Asian, a lot delicious.

Delicious.
Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 30 Min
Ingredients
- 4 Cod Fillets
- 1 cup Brown Rice
- 1 3/4 cups Coconut Milk
- 4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, coconut milk, big pinch of salt and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 25 to 30 minutes.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fillets; cook 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned. Flip the fillets and add the garlic; cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the honey, butter and soy sauce. Cook, occasionally spooning the sauce over the fillets, 3 to 4 minutes or until the cod is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with coconut rice. Garnish with cashews and green tops of scallions.
