Cooking Direction

     

    1. Set the oven rack approximately 6 inches below the grill and preheat the grill to high.
    2. After putting the fish on a baking pan, drizzle it with grapeseed oil. Combine the paprika, cayenne, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Evenly sprinkle it on top of the cod, then gently press it in place to ensure it sticks.
    3. Use a fork to pierce the cod and broil it for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it's partially opaque.
    4. Shredded napa cabbage should be added to the bottom of a bowl and seasoned with salt and pepper before assembling the bowls. Add the mango pico, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, cilantro, jalepeño slices, and queso fresco cheese on top. Of course, you can use as much as you like—the topping amounts I listed above are merely personal preferences!
    5. Pour chipotle crema over the whole thing and give it a lime spritz. Present!

    MANGO PICO

    CREMA CHIPOTLE
