ALASKA COD NIÇOISE-STYLE SALAD
Prep Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 14 oz. fresh or frozen whole thin green beans, trimmed, cooked crisp-tender and chilled
1 lb. (about 3 cups) small new red potatoes, quartered, cooked and chilled
1-1/2 cups small tomatoes (cherry or grape)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 cups prepared fat-free vinaigrette dressing, divided
6 to 8 oz. fresh spinach leaves
4 Alaska Cod fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup pitted Niçoise or black olives, sliced
Add beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and bell pepper to a bowl; pour 1 cup vinaigrette over and toss. Cover and refrigerate. In another bowl, pour ½ cup vinaigrette over spinach; toss. Cover and refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Cod fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place on spray-coated baking sheet. Bake frozen fillets for 12 to 15 minutes OR fresh/thawed fish for 8 to 10 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide spinach among 4 dinner plates; top each plate with ¼ of vegetables. Add seafood fillets and 2 tablespoons olives; spoon remaining vinaigrette over fish.
