Chipotle Lime Cod with Summer Veggie Sauté is a delicious fish dinner will make waves and earn raves at dinner, including from you since it only takes 10 minutes to make! 

So perfect for today (Cinco de Mayo) or any day you want to enjoy some south-of-the-border inspired yum! Read on to get this healthy cod recipe:

First, you’ll want to start with a cod filet (or filets) that total about 8 ounces, to make two servings. If serving more than two, this pan grilled cod recipe is easily scalable to accommodate more as it’s only seasoned with spices. As a point of reference, the American Heart Association considers 3.5 ounces of cooked fish (or about 4-ounces raw) to be a single serving. Not gonna lie, sometimes I eat more of this lean protein to fuel my needs!

I’ve selected my fish from Sitka Shares, a fisherman’s co-op that ships responsibly-caught, wild Alaskan seafood straight to your doorstep – it’s been a great help for me during this “stay at home” time.  You can learn more at SitkaShares.com and save $25 with my code: FITFORK

After thawing cod, pat dry with paper towels and season with spices that include salt, pepper, cumin, and chipotle chili powder. Next, it’s simply tossing on a hot grill pan on the stove top – if you don’t have a grill pan (mine does a great job and wasn’t even expensive), a skillet will also work.  The pan grilled cod cooks very quickly, on average about 6 to 8 minutes (flipping once).

To save time, at the same time I’m preparing the pan grilled cod, I’m also making the veggies on the next skillet – a simple toss of corn, mushrooms and zucchini finished with some half-and-half and spices.  I like to dice up the mushrooms and zucchini in about the same size as the corn kernel, for a confetti effect.

Both the chipotle cod and veggies will finish up around the same time, then it’s just a matter of sliding the fish onto the bed of veggies and squeezing fresh lime juice over everything and sprinkling with chopped cilantro!
