Alaskan Cod Alfredo

When I was asked to create a kid-friendly recipe for the Alaska Seafood Board, I got really excited. Seafood is so healthy and it is full of nutrition for kids growing bodies.

My kids eat seafood once a week and one of their favorite ways to enjoy it is with my easy gluten free alfredo sauce. I have tried several different types of sauce for cod, but alfredo seems to be their favorite! Cod and pasta are naturals together!

This recipe features my homemade alfredo sauce. This is a delicious cream sauce for fish!

It is the most kid-friendly, easy sauce for cod you will ever make. It is even ready in just minutes. This simple gluten free alfredo sauce makes everything great….at least that is what my kids say!

You can slather it on pasta, or enjoy it over this whole roasted cauliflower.

If your family is like mine, school nights are so busy it is hard to find time to share a nutritious family dinner. Family dinners are such an important meal.

This is the time to hear your children’s stories about their day and discuss interesting topics. When families rush because of sports and other activities, family communication can go downhill fast.

Dinner in under 30 minutes

You read that correctly :-).

In less than 30 minutes, you can throw together this whole healthy gluten free cod fettuccine alfredo pasta recipe. Your whole family will love it. (Most of the time it takes to cook is waiting for your pasta water to boil :-)).

Alaskan Seafood

With everything you read these days about farm-raised and imported seafood, it is really nice to know you can enjoy seafood from Alaska without any worries.

• The cold water and natural environment of Alaska produce seafood with lean flesh, firm texture, and superior flavor that is full of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and oils essential to good health.
• Alaska’s fishing methods are anchored in strict conservation practices as well as the State Constitution, ensuring that the delicious Alaska seafood you enjoy today will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Cod

Our local grocery store had both wild cod and salmon from Alaska.

I chose to use Alaskan cod in this recipe because it is a really kid-friendly fish. This fish is both flaky and mild, making it perfect for the pickiest of palates.

How to make homemade alfredo sauce for this recipe:

Saute the cod with olive oil and fresh basil.

Heat the heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper.

Once the cod is cooked, drain the cooking juices and chop it into large pieces.

Add pasta and cod to the creamy alfredo sauce. Toss to coat. Serve hot!
