Add vegetables, and rice and you've got yourself a satisfying meal that rivals a trip to your favorite seafood restaurant, and is gluten-free!

Broiled Cod with Mango Relish Ingredients:
- 4 Cod Fillets (1 pound)
- 4 C. Cooked White Rice
- 2 Asparagus Bunches, steamed
- 2 tsp. Avocado Oil, divided
- 1 Small Fresh Mango, diced
- 1 Clove Fresh Garlic, chopped
- 1.5 Tbsp. Chopped Red Onion

How do you make Broiled Cod with Mango Relish?
For being such a fancy-looking dish, you will find that it's a simple meal prep recipe. Preheat the oven broiler and place your cod fillets on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle and coat the fish in 1 tsp. oil, then season with salt and pepper. Broil the fillets on the top rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
While the fish is broiling, make the mango relish, asparagus, and rice. If you want everything done at the same time, start the rice before the fish. For the relish, start by heating a saucepan. Then add the rest of the avocado oil along with red onion and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add liquid aminos, mango, and lime juice. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently so the mango doesn't stick to the pan.
Plate asparagus and top with fish and mango relish. Add rice on the side and you've got yourself a fancy seafood dinner in 30 minutes. Easy, right?
How to portion Broiled Cod with Mango Relish?
Using a two-compartment MPOF meal prep container, put the asparagus, broiled cod, and mango relish in the 2 c. compartment and the rice in the 1 c. compartment. You should be able to fit a mini cup for the relish on the 2-cup side if you choose to store the relish separately.

Other tips for making Broiled Cod with Mango Relish:
-
It all starts with your cod. Atlantic cod is sweet with large flakes. Pacific cod is savory with firm and chunky flakes. Either one would pair well with mango relish.
-
You can cook cod in a pan or bake it in the oven. You can even add it to fish stews!
-
When shopping for mangoes, test ripeness by squeezing it. A slight squishiness is best. A fruity smell at the stem ends is another indicator of ripeness.
-
The ripeness of mangoes is the same as avocados and apricots.
-
Store ripe mangoes in the refrigerator ASAP.
-
Cut mangoes lengthwise, around the stem. Then cut the centers into cubes. Spoon out the cubes.
Ingredients
- 4 Cod Fillets 1 pound
- 4 Cups Cooked White Rice
- 2 bunches Asparagus steamed (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 tsp. Avocado Oil divided
- 1 small Fresh Mango diced
- 1 Clove Fresh Garlic chopped
- 1.5 Tbsp. Chopped Red Onion
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Cilantro
- 1 Lime quartered into wedge slices
- 1 Lime juiced
- ½ tsp. Pink Himalayan Salt
- ½ tsp. Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler and a line sheet pan with parchment paper or foil, set aside.
- Place fillets onto a prepared sheet pan and drizzle 1 tsp. oil over, flipping until coated. Then, season with salt and pepper. Place onto upper rack and let broil 10-12 minutes or until cooked.
- While that is cooking, prepare mango relish by heating a saucepan over medium-high heat. Then add remaining teaspoon oil, red onion, and garlic — sauté ~3 minutes. Add coconut aminos, mango, lime juice — sauté ~2 minutes or until liquid has slightly thickened, stirring often to prevent mango from burning/sticking to the pan.
- Top fillets with mango relish and cilantro alongside asparagus, rice, and lime wedges — store and enjoy!
