This Steamed Cod with Kimchi is healthy, moist, and delicious. Combining cod and kimchi gives the dish a deliciously spicy and tangy flavor.

Easy and delicious Steamed Cod with Kimchi.

I try to prepare fish at least once a week. Unfortunately, the choices of fish at my local grocery store are not great and so I usually end up cooking salmon. This week though, I managed to purchase a great looking piece of cod and it was on sale too! It did not matter that I had no clue as to how I was going to cook it. I was just happy that it will not be another piece of salmon at the dinner table. Don’t get me wrong. I do like salmon but it is always nice to have a different kind of fish every now and then.

Homemade Napa Cabbage Kimchi

Satisfied with my shopping for the day, I drove home thinking about other things. When I got home, I unloaded the groceries and lugged them into the kitchen as always. As soon as I opened the refrigerator, I was greeted by this huge bottle of Napa Cabbage Kimchi sitting on the top most shelf. I knew instantly then what I was going to do with the piece of cod I had just bought. We have not had steamed fish in a while, and cod is a wonderful fish to use for steaming. I figured the mild cod would benefit with some flavor boost from the spicy and tangy kimchi.

Deliciously spicy and tangy Steamed Cod with Kimchi.

Steamed Fish With Pickle Vegetables

Steamed fish with pickled vegetables is not uncommon in Chinese cuisine. The Teochews are known for their steam fish with pickled mustard, tomatoes, chilies, and ginger. These vegetables combine well with fish to give it a slightly tangy and spicy flavor that whets one’s appetite. That was the inspiration for this Steamed Cod with Kimchi dish. Ro-Ri San had a second helping of rice for dinner this evening. 🙂

    Yummy! Never tried steaming fish with kimchi. It has always been kimchi stir fry with my choice of meat or fish…and kimchi pasta:D

      I like both as well. Salmon is quite easily available here. Not so much with cod but the supply is not too bad.

      The dish was very flavorful. Since cod is so mild, the kimchi really gave it a boost of flavor. 🙂

    My boys do not like cod, unless it’s prepared in a fish-n-chips manner, while I don’t like batter-coated fish! I’m sure they will like your cod with kimchi. My boys love salmon! Like you, whenever it’s a fish day, we have pan fried salmon. So boring… guess it’s time I included steamed cod with kimchi or one of the teochew style of steamed fish 😀

      I think my boys also prefer salmon especially when it is grilled or baked. Fortunately, they do eat most things I prepare and put on the table. 🙂
