Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and pour in a spoonful of Frio
Carefully place the cod medallion in the center of the hot pan. Let it cook for three minutes without moving it: during this time, a golden crust will form, sealing in the juices. Then, flip the burger with a spatula and cook another three minutes on the other side, until firm but still moist inside.
While the fish is cooking, cut the sandwich
Remove the bread from the oven, take the bottom half, and spread a thin layer of green olive pâté. This flavorful spread acts as a glue and adds healthy fats that enhance the flavor of the cod.
Arrange a sprig of well-dried baby spinach on the olive base, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts and parmesan shavings. The contrast between soft, crunchy, and savory will make every bite more interesting.
Place the still-warm cod burger on top of the spinach. Drizzle the top with half a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for a fresh, slightly sweet and sour touch. Cover with the bun top, press lightly, and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper if you want to enjoy it within four hours. Enjoy your meal!
The nearly 60 grams of protein stimulate muscle synthesis, keep ghrelin (the hunger hormone) at bay, and increase post-meal calorie expenditure. The twelve grams of fiber modulate carbohydrate absorption, improve gut flora, and prolong satiety.The blend of Omega-3 and Omega-9 contributes to cardiovascular health and inflammatory control, while the mere twelve grams of net carbohydrates keep insulin spikes low, promoting fat burning. The result is a sandwich that fills you up without weighing you down, providing constant energy for hours.
| Objective | Recommended edit |
|---|---|
| Extra-protein post-workout recovery | Double the burger: 80g of protein with a modest calorie surplus. |
| Vegetarian | Replace the cod with grilled halloumi; the savory flavor pairs well with pâté and spinach. |
| More green | Use arugula instead of spinach for a more tangy touch and a higher nitrate content. |
| Spicy lovers | Mix ½ teaspoon of harissa with olive paste: capsaicin stimulates thermogenesis. |
| Meal prep | Assemble the sandwich, vacuum seal it, and store it in the refrigerator for three days; when you're ready to eat, just five minutes in the air fryer at 160°C is all it takes. |
Sure: set the temperature to 200°C and cook for ten minutes, turning halfway through. You'll save a tablespoon of oil (about 90 kcal) while still getting a crispy surface.
No, the Sandwich
Aged Parmesan contains less than 0.1 g of lactose per 100 g; if you prefer to eliminate it altogether, opt for well-aged pecorino or naturally cheesy nutritional yeast flakes.
Yes: cod provides digestible protein and iodine, which is beneficial for growth. For younger children, reduce the amount of nuts and balsamic vinegar.
Dry the spinach thoroughly and insert a lettuce leaf between the burger and the bun: it will act as a barrier against humidity.
