Low Carb Sesame Crusted Cod & Bok Choy
Low Carb Sesame Crusted Cod & Bok Choy
Ingredients for 2 servings:
Substitution
Note
- 3/4lb raw wild cod (or white fish), cut into 2 equal pieces
- 5 tablespoons sesame seeds (I used a mix of toasted and black sesame seeds)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or grapeseed, coconut or other cooking oil with a higher smoke point)
- 2 baby bok choy (~2 cups), halved down the middle
- Dressing
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons liquid aminos (or coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce; use more/less to taste)
- 1 tablespoon (or 1-inch) grated ginger
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic paste
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 1/3 cup chopped green onion
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
STEPS
Step 1
Place sesame seeds in a shallow plate and place the cod in the seeds to coat on both sides.
Step 2
Set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, and once hot add avocado oil. Place the cod in the skillet and cook on each side for about 1 minute but no more than 2 minutes (since cod cooks very fast).
Step 3
Remove the cod from the skillet, then add the halved bok choy with the sliced part facing down into the skillet. Squeeze in a little lime to create steam, then cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the bok choy is seared and slightly wilted. You want a crisp tender result – tender to bite with a little crunch. Set aside.
Step 4
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce, then drizzle over the cod and the bok choy.
