Nori-Crusted Cod with Mango Slaw and Sesame-Soy DressingNori-Crusted Cod with Mango Slaw and Sesame-Soy Dressing

Buttery cod is a Citarella favorite. Here, we’re dressing it up with our flavor-packed Everything Bagel Seasoning and savory nori, searing it until it turns a gorgeous golden-brown. On the side, a bright mango-and-bell pepper slaw beckons. As for the sauce? Simple, but full of flavor—marrying nutty tahini with umami-packed soy sauce and bright white balsamic vinegar.


Ingredients

For the Slaw:

  • 2 bell peppers—seeds removed and julienned ¼-inch thick
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 bag of Citarella Coleslaw Mix
  • 1 mango—peeled, and flesh julienned ¼-inch thick
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves washed
  • 2 Tbsp. cleaned & sliced scallion greens
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sesame-Soy Dressing:

  • ½ cup tahini
  • 4 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 tsp. honey

For the Cod:

  • 2 sheets nori, finely shredded with scissors
  • 2 Tbsp. white sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. Citarella Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 4 (6-8 ounce) skinless cod fillets
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. In a large mixing bowl, toss the julienned peppers and the olive oil. Then, place on a sheet-pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  2. Prepare the dressing: Place all the ingredients in the base of a blender. Puree until smooth.
  3. Mix the shredded nori, the sesame seeds, and Everything Seasoning in a medium bowl. Season the cod with sea salt; then, press one side into the nori mix to cover the surface completely.
  4. Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and sear the nori-covered side of the fish. Cook 3 minutes, or until golden-brown. Place the fish on a parchment-lined sheet-pan, nori side-up. Bake for 4-7 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, place the coleslaw mix, red peppers, mango, cilantro, and scallions. Pour ½ of the dressing into the mix, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
  6. Divide the salad between 4 serving plates. Top with the baked fish and drizzle remaining dressing around the fish. Serve immediately.
