Stove: Crispy Pan-Fried Cod with Mushroom–Onion Ragout + Quick Collards

A non-stew cod dinner with big texture: cod gets a light flour dredge, pan-fried until crisp, then finished with a warm mushroom–onion “ragout” (no capers, no lemon-butter vibe). Serve with quick sautéed collard greens for a WA-winter plate.

Ingredients

  • Pacific Cod Fillet Wild Caught (sustainably sourced) ~12 oz, cut into 2 pieces $10.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms 8 oz, sliced $3.50 (sale)
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 medium, thinly sliced $1.49/lb
  • Organic Collard Greens 8–10 oz, stems removed, leaves sliced $2.99/16 oz
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $1.99/3 ct
  • All-purpose flour 3 tbsp (for dredging)
  • Paprika 1/2 tsp
  • Neutral oil (canola/avocado) 3 tbsp, divided
  • Butter (optional) 1 tbsp (or use more oil)
  • Chicken/veg broth or water 1/3 cup
  • Dijon mustard (optional) 1 tsp (adds depth; not “mustardy”)
  • Kosher salt 1 tsp, divided
  • Black pepper 1/2 tsp

Instructions

  1. Pat cod very dry. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
  2. On a plate, mix flour + paprika + a pinch of salt. Lightly dredge cod on both sides and shake off excess.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with 2 tbsp neutral oil. Cook cod 3–4 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp oil (and 1 tbsp butter if using). Sauté onions 3 minutes; add mushrooms and cook 6–8 minutes until browned.
  5. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in 1/3 cup broth (and 1 tsp Dijon if using). Simmer 1–2 minutes to make a glossy pan sauce. Taste and adjust salt.
  6. In a second pan (or after removing mushrooms), sauté collard greens with a splash of water, a pinch of salt, and a little oil until tender, 4–6 minutes.
  7. Serve cod topped with the mushroom-onion ragout, with collards on the side.

Health notes: ~600–800 calories per serving depending on oil/butter. Lean fish; mushrooms + greens add fiber and micronutrients.

Drink pairing: Wine styles: Pinot Noir (earthy with mushrooms) or unoaked Chardonnay. NA: black tea with a squeeze of orange.
