Cod with quinoa and kiwi salsa is an unusual flavor combination inspired by modern European cuisine. The tender cod fillet infused with the spicy aroma of green curry paste develops a delicious golden crust under the grill. It is served with airy quinoa that beautifully absorbs the juices and aromas of the dish. The kiwi salsa adds a refreshing sweet-sour note, balancing the richness of flavors – the tenderness of the fish, warmth of spices, and mild heat from red pepper flakes. This dish is perfect for a light yet exquisite dinner, surprising with its delicate balance of ingredients and elegant presentation. Cilantro sprigs complete the composition, adding a fresh herbal accent. Simple to prepare but refined in execution, this recipe is a true celebration of flavor.
