Spiced Cod With Corn

medium prep time 10 mins | cook time 15 mins | SERVINGS 4

5 Tbsp. unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1½ tsp. coriander seeds

¾ tsp. cumin seeds

¾ tsp. mild red pepper flakes or ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

½ tsp. ground turmeric

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1 tsp. soy sauce

La Fe Corn (about 3 cups)

4 (5–6-oz.) cod or other flaky whitefish fillets

Mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

STEP ONE

Melt butter in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add garlic, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds and cook, swirling pan often until butter is foaming and spices are very fragrant, about 2 minutes (reduce heat if butter is starting to brown). Add red pepper flakes, turmeric, a big pinch of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Cook, swirling pan, until very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ½ cup water (careful, it may spatter a bit), then soy sauce.
STEP TWO

Add corn to skillet. Season fish lightly with salt and nestle into corn and broth; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7–9 minutes.
STEP THREE

Divide fish among bowls. Taste broth and season with more salt if needed. Divide corn and broth among bowls and top with mint and sesame seeds.
