Weight Loss Recipe: Pan Seared Cod With Balsamic Dressing
It is critical to include lean protein in your diet if you want to lose weight and keep it off. Cod is a great source of lean protein because it contains less fat than red meat.
Losing weight isn’t about deprivation, suffering, or fad diets! Learning to cook delicious, easy-to-prepare, healthy meals that your body need and enjoys makes losing weight fun and motivating.
Spices, rather than high-calorie, fatty sources, can be used to create flavorful, intriguing dishes that the whole family will enjoy. “Pan Seared Cod With Balsamic Thyme” is another low-fat, hunger-suppressing meal to help you stay in control of your weight. This tempting, no-fuss meal will help you achieve your weight-loss objectives while also making mealtime fun.
Any good health program must include a variety of activities. You’re considerably more likely to leave your diet if you get tired with the foods. Experiment with spices to come up with fresh ideas, try new recipes, and develop a repertoire of quick home cooked meals to replace takeout, freezer dinners, and snacks. Your body will adore you, and your loved ones will be overjoyed.
Ingredients:
- 500g fillet of fresh cod (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tblsp balsamic vinaigrette
- 2 tblsp thyme (fresh)
- season with salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
On both sides, season the fish with salt and freshly ground pepper. Over medium-high heat, preheat a large skillet with a lid. Add the olive oil once the pan is heated. Place the fish in the pan when the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for five minutes, or until the underside is brown and a curst forms.
Turn the salmon over carefully, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes. When a fork flakes the fish, it’s done. Place the fish on a platter after removing it from the skillet. Return to medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar, and cook quickly, scraping the pan with a spatula as needed.
Turn off the heat and return the fish to the skillet, coating both sides with the reduced vinegar. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves.
* For each inch of thickness, cook the fish for around 10 minutes. If you use chicken breast instead, the total cooking time will be around 15 minutes.
