Steamed Cod with Garlic and Swiss Chard
Cod is high in lean protein and is a heart-healthy choice for any eating plan. Steaming cod in a foil packet allows for a greater infusion of flavor in a shorter amount of time. Making these foil packets couldn't be easier, and the fish comes out moist and flaky every time. Serve atop brown rice or quinoa.
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder.
- Tear off four pieces of aluminum foil, with each sheet being large enough to envelop one cod fillet and a quarter of the vegetables.
- Place a cod fillet in the middle of each sheet of foil, then sprinkle on all sides with the spice mixture.
- In each foil packet, place a quarter of the onion slices and ½ cup Swiss chard, then drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and squeeze ¼ lemon over the contents of each foil packet.
- Fold and seal the sides of the foil packets and then place them into the air fryer basket. Steam for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the basket, and carefully open each packet to avoid a steam burn.
INGREDIENT TIP:
If Swiss chard is not available, you can easily substitute collard greens or kale in equal measurements in this recipe.
