This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sea Cuisine. All opinions are 100% mine.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • It comes together in a few very simple steps, with very little effort! Sea Cuisine fish comes pre-seasoned, and ready to be baked. Then, while the cod bakes, you’ll prep the white wine sauce in just 5 minutes – then your potato-crusted cod piccata is ready to serve!
  • It’s full of flavor, with the perfect amount of herbs and spices. Potato, cheese, chive, and garlic encrusted cod with a delicate white wine sauce! All served over your favorite pasta for a hearty, and delicious meal.
  • It’s a fun twist on classic chicken piccata! Sea Cuisine Potato Crusted Wild Cod fillets replace chicken in this Italian-inspired recipe. All the same irresistible flavors as traditional piccata, and then some.

Chef’s Tips

  • For a low-carb version of this potato-crusted cod piccata, replace the pasta with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash! You’ll still feel like you’re eating something rich and comforting, but with a fraction of the carbs.
  • If you’d prefer, you can substitute the white wine with vegetable broth and lemon juice. Replace the ½ cup of dry white wine with an equal amount of broth, plus 1 tablespoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. The broth will give you plenty of flavor, while the lemon juice brightens things up!
  • Any and all pasta shapes will work! This potato-crusted cod piccata is super easy to customize, and make your own. Swap out or add in any seasonings, herbs, or ingredients you’d like.
