It’s finally grilling season again, and we can’t wait to start sharing some of our summertime favorites with you! This ‘Wild Cod and Pesto Carrot Noodles’ recipe from @ryanckennedy is a great place to get started. It provides a high amount of protein, but is still light enough for those scorching afternoons when you don’t feel like a heavy lunch or dinner.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4-6
I often spiralize zucchini to make a healthy variation of pasta, but this time I used carrots! They have a semi-sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory pesto sauce.
Ingredients:
1 pound wild-caught cod (or any white fish of choice)
5-6 large carrots (spiralized into noodles)
1 tablespoon grass-fed ghee
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 lime (freshly squeezed)
Homemade pesto to taste
Directions:
Add ghee to a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Season fish, place in hot pan, and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes.
While preparing the fish, steam carrot noodles until tender.
Place carrot noodles and pesto in a bowl, and top with fish.
Note: You can make this same recipe using zucchini or yellow crookneck squash as the noodles, or even experiment with a higher starch option, such as sweet potatoes or spaghetti squash, if you are very physically active.
You can also use store-bought pesto instead of making your own; just be sure the pesto you buy contains a healthy oil (such as olive oil) and avoid products with canola or other vegetable oils.
