Cod with Mexican Rice and Cilantro Vinaigrette

Cod with Mexican Rice and Cilantro Vinaigrette

Cod with Mexican Rice and Cilantro Vinaigrette

This was yesterday’s lunch and it was so good! This recipe came about because I kept seeing Cilantro Vinaigrette recipes over on Google+ this week. I have a little herb garden outside my back door and had some cilantro that needed to be picked also.

Mexican Rice

First I made the vinaigrette and then started on the Mexican Rice. I knew I wanted the rice to be really moist like a Spanish rice but with lots of vegetables. I added some vegetables, cumin, chili powder to my favorite recipe and loved the results. The cod was quickly pan fried and the topped with the Cilantro Vinaigrette.

Mexican Rice

To do this dish if you are using frozen cod loins like I did, lay a few pieces of paper towel on the counter. Place the cod loins on top and pat dry. This will help in getting a nice brown crust on the cod.
