Pan Roasted Cod

with Potatoes &Herb Butter

Hello, Angels Working on Earth Family!

Today’s dish is Pan Roasted Cod. It took approximately 45 minutes to cook and arrived fresh and well-packaged. Cod can be frozen, cured, pickled, smoked, or canned. For this recipe, baby spinach, lemon, potatoes, and chives added a lot of flavor and texture to the Cod. This recipe can be tricky to make as Cod can absorb the flavors of the foods surrounding it. You can’t go wrong with fresh dill, chives, and butter. Along with the flaky, moist Cod is delicious.

We all should be aware of how our food arrives to us. It arrived from Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon well packaged and beautifully arranged. But we should also consider how Cod arrives at the market. So let us also talk about sustainability in terms of fish. Sustainability improves the quality of our lives, and our ecosystems, and preserves our natural resources for the next generation. This information isn’t meant to detour you from eating Cod but to inspire you to act in ways that benefit your health and protect others, the environment, and the fish we eat. If we don’t think deeply, there may not be enough fish to go around in the coming years.

The most recent data show some cod are endangered due to overfishing. There are fewer fish in the U.S. stocks of Atlantic cod than the average, and they are slowly recovering (NOAA Fishery, 2022). A 2013 report showed Icelandic cod numbers growing at their highest levels in 50 years (NOAA Fishery, 2022). There are different stock ratios in different oceans. All stocks go up and down.

 It’s important for individuals to think about the larger picture when it comes to our health, the wellbeing of animals, and the state of the ecosystem. Take a moment to research the companies you support and their overall impact. 

We need legally binding commitments to ensure that we fish at sustainable levels, properly monitor our fisheries, and manage them with an ecosystem approach. This is crucial to protecting our fish stocks and benefiting our seas, coastal communities, and those who expect sustainable seafood. (NOAA Fisheries, 2022).
