Sambal is a classic Asian ground chile sauce with a deep smoky flavor, which is highlighted with a touch of fish sauce and dry herbs in this healthy cod recipe. It’s a super-versatile sauce with medium-high heat. While it’s a little fussy to remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles, it’s well worth the effort. Cod is in peak season in May, so it’s the ideal time time to try this mild white fish and up the seafood into your diet. We like this pan-seared cod served with the simple tossed greens and some coconut rice.
