Nutritional Information
High-protein Pacific cod pairs with spicy, gut-supportive kimchi butter and leeks for a fiber-rich, antioxidant-packed meal. Bold in flavor and fantastically nutritious, it’s a wholesome gourmet dish that never fails to impress.
Chef Tips for Beginners:
- The thinner you slice the leeks, the better it cooks in the little parcels. Make sure your knife is sharp and your fingertips are curled inwards.
- The reason why we didn’t preheat the air fryer is because we want a gentle increase in heat to essentially steam the fish. Fish tends to overcook, so this helps it become tender and still remain moist.
- Kimchi can be intimidating when it comes to spice levels. You can also use baek kimchi (white kimchi), which is made without hot pepper flakes.
