But to be honest, I\u2019ve enjoyed these recipes on any day of the week. They\u2019re easy, versatile and full of flavor. If you\u2019ve never considered yourself a fish person, try these. I promise they\u2019re winners.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fish soup with rice and spinach and parsley lemon gremolata<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When I described this soup to Mom, she said she\u2019d like it without rice and kale instead of spinach. To which I say, you go girl! Recipes should inspire you to make meals that you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 cups of chicken broth<\/li>\n<li>1 pound of frozen cod fillets (or other firm mild fish of your choice)<\/li>\n<li>4 green onions diced including the green part<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup of jasmine rice uncooked<\/li>\n<li>1 clove of garlic, minced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Parsley lemon gremolata<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 lemon half<\/li>\n<li>1 clove garlic, minced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Garlic croutons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2-3 slices of stale hearty bread or baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>Garlic powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a medium size Dutch oven or large saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and gently saute the chopped garlic and green onion for two minutes until just wilted.<\/p>\n<p>Next, add the rice and stir to coat. Add the stock, bring to a boil and allow to cook for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the lid and add the frozen cod fillets and the juice of half of a lemon. Cover again and allow everything to cook for an additional 10 minutes. Then gently remove the cod fillets and cut them into large chunks and return to the pot until the rice and fish are cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, make the parsley gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Pulse with an immersion blender or a food processor until just finally minced.<\/p>\n<p>Make the garlic croutons: Place bread cubes on a sheet pan, sprinkle with extra-virgin olive oil and garlic powder. Roast 5-10 minutes in a 400-degree oven.<\/p>\n<p>When ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls, serve with garlic croutons or a slice of stale bread and a dollop of the parsley gremolata.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div class=\"caption-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-768x1024.jpeg\" alt class=\"wp-image-379928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0520-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"><figcaption><strong>Sheet pan fish and roasted vegetables with Peruvian aji amarillo seasoning<\/strong><br \/><em>Courtesy Suzanne Anderson<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>Sheet pan fish and roasted vegetables with Peruvian aji amarillo seasoning<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This sheet pan dinner can be ready in 25 minutes. It\u2019s so simple, but don\u2019t let that turn up your nose. The Peruvian aji amarillo paste is so full of huge flavors of yellow pepper and citrus. It\u2019s a great seasoning for fish or chicken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-2 tablespoons aji amarillo paste&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 mild\/firm fish filet per person, cut into large chunks<\/li>\n<li>An assortment of your favorite vegetables for roasting cut into large chunks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heat oven to 400. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil and aji amarillo seasoning paste. (Start with a little and build. It\u2019s spicy, so you\u2019ll want to adjust it to your heat tolerance.)<\/p>\n<p>Arrange the fish (I use wild-caught Pacific cod. You also can use chicken breasts or thighs.) and vegetables (I use crimini mushrooms, bell peppers, summer squash and red onions) on a baking sheet and then drizzle with the seasoned extra-virgin olive oil. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve over rice or mixed salad greens.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div class=\"caption-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-768x1024.jpeg\" alt class=\"wp-image-379929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/IMG_0866-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"><figcaption><strong>Salmon chowder with fresh vegetables <\/strong><br \/><em>Courtesy Suzanne Anderson<\/em><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4><strong>Salmon chowder with fresh vegetables&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You might be asking why I\u2019m sharing yet another salmon chowder recipe. I\u2019ll admit, before a year ago, I never made salmon chowder. Then I discovered not only how easy it is, but how easily it can be modified to suit whatever you have in the fridge.
