Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 6oz fillets of Greensbury wild cod
- 1 large zucchini, sliced thin lengthwise (use a mandolin on #1 or #2 setting)
- 2 handfuls of organic baby spinach
- 1/2 pint of grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (for zest and juice)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Fresh black pepper, to taste
- Optional: balsamic glaze for garnishing
Instructions:
- Prep the Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat. Place a well-seasoned cast iron skillet directly on the grill.
- Cook the Bacon: Add bacon slices to the skillet. Cook until crispy, then remove, chop, and set aside. Keep the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Prepare the Cod: Season the cod fillets with sea salt, fresh black pepper, and lemon zest. Carefully wrap each fillet with thinly sliced zucchini.
- Sauté Veggies: In the skillet with bacon fat, sauté onions, garlic, and halved grape tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes, or until soft.
- Grill the Cod: Move the veggies to one side of the skillet. Place the zucchini-wrapped cod in the center. Drizzle with half of the lemon juice. Cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Gently flip the cod. Add the chopped bacon back to the skillet and toss the tomato mixture. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the fish and veggies.
- Serve: Remove from the grill. Serve the cod and veggies hot over a bed of fresh baby spinach. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor.
