The cod broth made with frozen cod fillets is a quick and easy white fish broth to prepare: the frozen cod fillets do not need to be thawed.
Cod is a relatively lean fish, with tender and digestible flesh, it is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and contains 43 mg of cholesterol per 100 g of raw cod.
For an appropriate dietary intake of cholesterol, a daily consumption of less than 300 mg is recommended.
The cod broth made with frozen cod fillets is tasty and light, and due to the absence of bones, we can define it as a cod broth suitable even for the little ones.
It is good with pasta [we used whole wheat pasta] and with rice.
In the case of brothy first courses, to avoid glycemic spikes, it is advisable to cook the pasta separately, then rinse it and add it to the prepared brothy sauce separately; this way, the starch released by the pasta in the cooking water is eliminated.
The whole wheat pasta in cod broth is a single dish as it concentrates the characteristics that distinguish a balanced meal in a single course.
