To round out this meal, serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
Or to keep the carbs low, swap the rice and potatoes for riced cauliflower or a green salad.
Store-bought teriyaki glaze makes a great marinade for cod that doubles as a sauce for the cauliflower rice.

Creamy Chipotle Skillet Chicken Thighs
Smoky chipotle is the star of this one-skillet chicken thigh recipe.
Great for weeknight dinners, this can be on the table in no time.
Serve with tortillas or over rice or low-carb cauliflower rice with a simple cabbage slaw.
Hot Honey Grilled Shrimp
Shrimp are coated in sweet heat thanks to hot honey and Sriracha.
If you want to take the heat down a notch, use regular honey instead.
Using just a small amount of flavorful Parmigiano-Reggiano shaves calories and sodium too.
Serve over pasta, whole grains or riced cauliflower to soak up the delicious sauce.
Olives, capers and roasted cherry tomatoes add color and zest to each bite.
If you have a spiralizer and want to make your own zucchini noodles, use two medium zucchini.
Pat it dry and dredge it with a bit of flour before sauteing in a hot pan.
This healthy and easy dinner recipe comes together in just 20 minutes.
Serve this light and tangy quick dinner over pasta or brown rice.
White pepper is more mild and earthy than black pepper, but either will work here.
