This Cold Smoked Black Cod with Butter Pasta & Asparagus brings together rich, smoky fish and silky noodles for an effortlessly elegant dinner. Steamed gently and finished with a hint of citrus and herbs, the cod’s buttery texture melts beautifully into the pasta. Balanced with crisp asparagus and a drizzle of olive oil, it’s a fresh, ocean-to-table recipe that feels indulgent yet light.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fillet of Highline Fishing Cold Smoked Black Cod
  • A handful of pasta (of your choice)
  • 1 cup water for steaming
  • Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
  • A drizzle of Olive Oil or a pat of Butter
  • Fresh Parsley
  • 3-4 Asparagus spears
  • Orange or Lemon wedge or zest for garnish

Directions

  1. Steam the Black Cod: In a shallow pan, add water with a pinch of sea salt & pepper. Steam the Black Cod gently for 12-15 minutes, just until flakey and tender.
  2. Crisp Finish (Optional): For a touch of texture, broil for 2 minutes to lightly crisp the top.
  3. Prepare the Pasta: Cook pasta al dente, toss in Olive Oil or Butter, sprinkle with herbs or Black Pepper.
  4. Side Of Asparugus: Lightly steam or pan-sear asparagus with Olive Oil and Salt until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Plate it Beautifully: Twirl Pasta in the center, top with your glistening Black Cod, and lean the asparagus spears to one side.
  6. Finish with a drizzle of Olive Oil, a few Parsley leaves, or Black Pepper and a touch of Lemon zest if desired.
