Butter & Herb Cod with Whipped Ricotta & Arugula Salad

Preparation Instructions

COOK FISH: Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil. Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove fillets from pouch, place flat side down on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle with marinade from pouch. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

MAKE WHIPPED RICOTTA: While the fish cooks, combine ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons olive oil, thyme leaves, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.

MAKE ARUGULA SALAD: Combine the arugula, chopped basil, chopped parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Toss to combine.

TO SERVE: Spoon a large dollop of whipped ricotta onto a dinner plate. Lightly press the back of the spoon into the dollop, and create a swooping motion towards the bottom of the plate, lightly spreading the ricotta into a curve. Place half of the arugula salad next to the ricotta, then top with baked Wild Cod Butter & Herb fillet.
