Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 tsp. caraway seeds
- kosher salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 head red cabbage
- 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. orange zest
- 1/4 c. orange juice
- 1/2 c. golden raisins
- 1 can low-sodium lentils
- 4 skinless cod fillets
- chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, sprinkle with the caraway and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the onions are beginning to brown around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water and simmer until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the orange juice and zest. Add the raisins and lentils and toss to combine. Cook until the lentils are heated through and the cabbage is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- While the cabbage is cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Season the cod with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss the cabbage with the parsley, if desired, and serve with the fish.
