I set out to make Asian inspired fish tonight, but soy has wheat so Reid can't eat it. AND it has high sodium content so I can't eat it. Challenge accepted. This does not taste like it has that lovely soy umami, but it IS yummy!
1 1/2 pounds cod (or whatever your favorite fish is) Zest and juice of 1 lime 2 cloves of chopped garlic 1 tsp corriander fresh ginger grated on a microplane a dash (1 small squirt) dijon mustard a good squirt Sriracha (hoping for Turmeric but I was out) small (1/4 tsp) smoked paprika (just for the salty flavor) small shake Nutritional Yeast (again for the salty flavor) Mix everything that isn't fish in a large measuring cup. Cut fish into large bite size pieces. Put in a big bowl for marinating and pour marinade over it. Meanwhile heat a sauce pan and add olive oil. Add 1 cup of rice. Coat the rice with oil and swirl around in the pan. Add 2 cups of chicken stock to the measuring cup that had the fish marinade in it. It just adds a small amount of flavor. Add to pot and wait for it to boil. Once it boils turn the heat all the way down and simmer for 20 minutes. I like a good nutty flavor so I chopped maybe 1/4 cup of no salt pistachio nuts. Once the rice gets to about 10 minutes, heat the large fry pan. I remember the Frugal Gourmet telling me when I was young that you want a hot pan before you add anything. It keep food from sticking. Hot pan, Cold oil. So once the pan is hot add olive oil and then the fish with as little liquid and you can shake off the fish. Cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove fish and pour marinade into the pan to reduce. Sprinkle cilantro over fish. Once sauce is reduce pour that over fish as well. When the rice is done add pistachios and more cilantro. I served this with steamed broccoli. It was pretty darn good!!!

AuthorI'm not a chef. I have no training. I just really like food. I grew up eating processed food and over time, as a grown up, decided I wanted to cook the kinds of foods I got in restaurants. I have one problem. The doctor put me on a low sodium diet. You'll find there very little if any salt/sodium in this recipes. Just add to your own taste. I will probably do things wrong/differently on this website, but hopefully we'll all learn from each other! Archives
