Cod with Rhubarb Sauce Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

25 25

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped red onion
4-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon lime juice
Coarsely ground pepper to taste
4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add rhubarb and sugar; cook for 5-7 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the onion, mustard, parsley, basil, lime juice and pepper.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill cod, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with rhubarb sauce. Yield: 4 servings (2 cups sauce).

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
