Ingredients

1 lb cod fillets - thawed
½ lb raw large shrimp - peeled and thawed
3 green onions - diced (about ½ cup)
½ cup broth - or water
¼ cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
1 Tbsp honey mustard
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
½ tsp salt
cooked pasta or rice, to serve with

Instructions

• Cook pasta or rice according to package instructions. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Chop the thawed white fish into chunks. Blot the fish and thawed shrimp with paper towel to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
• In a bowl, mix together the broth, lemon juice, olive oil, whole grain mustard, honey mustard, lemon pepper seasoning and salt.
• In an oven-safe dish, add the fish chunks and shrimp. Sprinkle the green onion, and drizzle the dressing overtop. Toss everything together.
• Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until shrimp turns pink and white fish is no longer translucent and easily flaked with a fork.
• Use a slotted spatula to scoop out fish and transfer it to a plate. Add the leftover liquid to a saucepan or dish that's stovetop safe. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce heat to let simmer for 5-8 minutes to reduce and thicken to create sauce.
• Add pasta to plates topped with fish and shrimp. Drizzle the sauce over the fish. Serve and enjoy!

Baked Shrimp and Cod recipe tips:

In this cod and shrimp recipe, we’ve used two different methods of cooking the seafood to give it a crispy exterior without drying it out. First, we seared the cod in a hot pan until the skin was crisp while the interior remained moist. Then, we baked the shrimp until they were pink and slightly charred around the edges.

For perfectly cooked cod, make sure to keep an eye on the skin while it’s searing. You want it to be crispy without being burnt. If the skin starts to get too dark, lower the heat or move the cod to a cooler part of the pan. As for the shrimp, they only need a few minutes in a hot oven to cook through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook and become rubbery.

Storage:

If you’re looking for an easy, healthy seafood recipe, this Baked Shrimp and Cod is a great option. It’s also a good way to use up any seafood you have in the fridge that needs to be used up. Simply bake the shrimp and cod in a simple garlic-lemon sauce, then serve over some rice or quinoa.

When it comes to seafood, fresh is always best. But if you have seafood that’s been in the fridge for a few days (or longer), don’t worry – it can still be used in this recipe. Just be sure to give it a smell test before cooking with it. If it smells fishy or off, it’s best to discard it.
