Ingredients 

  • 45 g red bell peppers
  • 1.50 cup chard
  • 1 cup asparagus
  • 100 g cod
  • 100 g spinach
  • 3 tsp hot chilli sauce, sriracha
  • 1 cup dill pickles
  • 3 g parsley

Directions

  • Rinse and chop your pickles, parsley, peppers, chard and spinach. Set the pickles aside.
  • Prepare the cod with your favourite seasonings. I like to bake my fish on very high heat in an ovenproof dish. 400F works really well with salt, pepper and lemon slices.
  • In a skillet, add your chopped red bell peppers and saute until they are starting to soften.
  • While the peppers are cooking, steam the asparagus and then chop it into bite-size pieces.
  • Add in your chopped spinach and chard with the peppers in your skillet and saute them until wilted.
  • Add your asparagus to the pan and mix together.
  • Check that your fish is done. Plate your veggies and fish.
  • Top the fish with the chopped parsley and a dollop of sriracha sauce.
