Air Fryer Cod

Air Fryer Cod

This Air Fryer Cod is the absolute best way to cook perfect fish every time! The Cod is seasoned with a quick, flavorful spice rub and it’s tender and flaky in the middle.

This flakey and tender Air Fryer Cod recipe is perfect for making cod without breading. When you need dinner on the table fast, you can have this healthy and tasty fish recipe ready in 15 minutes or less and it can be served with absolutely any side for the perfect meal!

Ingredients Needed:

Cod: you need about one pound of Atlantic Cod cut into 2 filets for this recipe. It is best to purchase fresh, wild caught fish whenever possible. If you can’t find fresh filets, look in the freezer section for frozen cod. It will need to be thawed out completely before air frying.
Olive Oil: I like to coat the fish with olive oil before air frying to add moisture and help the seasonings stick. 
Spice Rub: I like to use a homemade spice rub with a mixture of garlic powder, chili pepper, dry parsley, salt and pepper.

Air Fryer Cod

Atlantic Cod is a healthful type of fish with many dietary benefits. It is high in protein and low in fat, which makes it an excellent protein source. Cod is also high in vitamins and minerals that are essential to bodily functioning. Like most fish, Cod has a good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is a miniature convection oven. It is a countertop cooking appliance that combines a heating element and a powerful fan to circulate hot air around your food so that it cooks more evenly and efficiently than in a normal oven. Air fryers produce foods that are crispy outside and moist and tender inside. All our air fryer recipe ideas: air fryer page.

Mediterranean Beet Salad

Mediterranean Beet Salad

This gorgeous Mediterranean Beet Salad with Cucumbers, Feta Cheese, Olives and flavorful Dressing is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredient Notes:
Beets – Use small to medium beets and a variety of colors if available. Read more about the health benefits of beetroot.
Cucumbers – I like to use English cucumbers because they’re thinner and have fewer seeds than regular cucumbers. Read more about the health benefits of cucumber.
Feta Cheese – good feta cheese is a must for this salad.
Kalamata olives – you can use another kind of olive.
Lemon juice – red wine vinegar will work very well too.
Extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

I love incorporating salads into my diet in unique and delicious ways. This Mediterranean Beet Salad couldn’t be simpler to make. Just have everything prepped and chopped and simply add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Toss to combine, taste, and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

In my opinion, beets are an underrated vegetable. They’re inexpensive, available year round and are loaded with nutrients. This Mediterranean Beet Salad combines this sweet and earthy veggie with crunchy cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese and olives, for a salad that’s full of flavor and texture.

White Wine Tomato Chicken

White Wine Tomato Chicken

There are so many things I love about this recipe. When it comes to an easy chicken dinner, this one is the winner – White Wine Tomato Chicken. Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ah, wine. I get so much pleasure out of cooking with wine. Typically you want to cook with crisp, higher acidity white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. I had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc so I used that for this recipe.

As always, I try to use pasture raised chicken and organic veggies when possible. Nutritionally, a pasture raised chicken is far superior to traditionally raised chicken. Research has shown that pasture-raised chickens have higher levels of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene than conventionally raised chickens. Buy farm-fresh Pasture Raised Chicken from local family farms. I got our chicken from KDE Farm.

It can be tough to cook healthy meals for your family during the week. However, you can make delicious and healthy meals in under 30 minutes with ingredients you’ve got in your pantry and fridge. This one skillet White Wine Tomato Chicken is wholesome, nutritious and easy to put together after a long day of work.
