Cilantro Lime Cod

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/

The light taste of fish is often overpowered by heavy sauces. We’ve found marinades to be a great alternative. Some healthy oil means they hold up better to the heat of baking or grilling as well. A quintessential summer flavor for said marinade? Cilantro lime of course! And we’ve got the marinade ready-made, to boot…. We’ve complemented this quick delicacy with fresh green beans, garnished with red pepper, red onion and some cilantro for an easy and tasty dinner pairing.

Servings: 3

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 oz. cod filet
• 1/4 cup Primal Kitchen® Cilantro Lime Dressing and Marinade
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• ¼ tsp. cumin
• ¼ tsp. onion powder
• pinch of red pepper
• optional equipment: cedar plank

Green Beans:

• 2 cups green beans, ends trimmed
• 1/4 cup chopped red pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
• 1 tsp. red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 Tbsp. minced red onion
• Additional cilantro, minced red onion and avocado, to garnish

Directions:

Soak a cedar plank in water for 2 hours. While the plank is soaking, preheat the oven to 375 ºFahrenheit.

Toss the green beans, red pepper, garlic, avocado oil, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper together. Lay the mixture out on a parchment-covered sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the vegetables over with a spatula. Roast until the green beans and are well roasted and top with minced onion and cilantro.

In a bowl, combine the Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Dressing and Marinade, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder and red pepper. Cut the cod filet into 2-3 portions and gently toss them in the sauce. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes.

Fire up your grill. The fish will need to cook over indirect heat. Take the cedar plank out of the water and place on a paper towel. Place the plank on the grill for 2 minutes. Flip the plank over and place the fish portions on top of the plank and spoon and remaining marinade over the top. Cover the lid and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the fish is firm and opaque. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness and size of the portions of fish. Top with chopped cilantro, minced onion and avocado slices and serve alongside the green beans.
