Description

Fresh leafy cabbage wraps filled with cooked mild white cod (or any favorite white fish such as halibut or tilapia) are served with a zingy sauce of wasabi, mayonnaise, and cilantro for a light meal that's perfect if you're watching carbs.

Ingredients

1 pound cod fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 dried red chile peppers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon wasabi paste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
8 large green cabbage leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1 Pat fish dry with paper towels.
2 Heat canola oil with dried red chiles in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook fish in the hot oil until flesh is opaque and the edges of the fish are slightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle fish with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat, drain, and discard peppers.
3 Stir mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and 2 tablespoons cilantro together in a bowl. Spoon several tablespoons of fish into a cabbage leaf and wrap leaf around fish; repeat with remaining leaves and fish. Garnish each roll with a sprinkling of cilantro. Serve with wasabi mayonnaise.
