Cod with Chickpeas and Cucumber Salsa
By chef Gulasch
A healthy and tasty meal full of flavor and protein. Cucumber salsa with fresh cheese, roasted chickpeas, and pan-seared cod fillet. Tip: Before searing the cod fillet, sprinkle it with salt all over, let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse, and pat dry. The fish will be firmer and will lose excess water :)
