Spiced-rubbed fish with lemony rice
This was good but it was not great. It needs something spicy. Very bland
4 t butter
1 onion diced small
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 t poppy seeds
1 T finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 T lemon juice
2 c chicken broth
1 medium zucchini halved, cut into 1 in pieces
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound cod
2 t Coriander spice Mix (in a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup ground coriander, 1 T each ground ginger, paprika and coarse salt, 1 1/2 t ground cumin and 1/4 t ground pepper)


In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium. add onion and garlic, cook stirring occasionally, until onion is soft 4 minutes. Stir in rice and poppy seeds and cook 1 minute. Stir in lemon zest and juice, broth, and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook 13 minutes. Sprinkle spice mix over fish. Arrange fish snugly in a single layer, spice side up, on top of rice, cover and cook until rice is tender and fish is opaque throughout, 5-7 minutes.
