- 2 cups water
- 1 pound frozen cod fillets

- 1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt-free herb seasoning blend
Preparation
- Thaw fish. Dice the onion.
- In a medium-sized pot add 2 teaspoons oil and sauté the onion.
- Once onion is browned, but not burned, add rice, 2 cups water, 1/2 tea spoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook covered for about 20 minutes on medium-low heat.
- In a bowl, add flour, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon black pepper and salt-free seasoning and mix well.

Helpful hints
- Choose any white fish for this recipe.
- Cumin is a spice known to aid digestion but can be strong if one is not accustomed to consuming it. Adjust amount to your taste
- If desired, accents to the Fish Fry with Seasoned Rice include: white onion soaked in vinegar with black pepper or tahini sauce (2 tablespoons tahini with 1–2 teaspoons white vinegar, black pepper and cumin).
- For a lower protein diet divide fish into 6 portions instead of 4; protein is reduced to 17 grams for the meal.
