Blue Apron Cod Review

A few days ago I shared a post about unboxing our most recent Blue Apron meal box. Today, I wanted to share my blue apron cod review. This was the first meal from that kit – Seared Cod with Spring Vegetables & Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette.

I love seafood, but buying it to cook isn’t something I do regularly. Cod in particular is not something I would ever think to purchase, unless it was a part of fish sticks.

The recipe in this week’s kit included a lot of items I wouldn’t use in a meal on my own:

• Radishes – Typically comes in a bunch and if I’m only using a few it seems wasteful to buy that many.
• Capers – Honestly I’m not totally sure I know that they are even now
• Shallots – Usually I substitute onions if a recipe calls for shallots.

The most difficult part of this recipe (and most of Blue Apron’s Recipes) was preparing all the produce. Mincing & dicing veggies helps them cook faster, but take’s a bit of time.

 

One of my favorite things about Blue Apron is that for the most part, everything comes pre-portioned (see the butter and dijon above). That means I don’t have to dirty more dishes or hang on to a condiment I don’t like.

Also amazing is that the Blue Apron recipe sheet includes pictures of each of the steps and what it should look like. They’ve done a much better job showcasing the ‘process’ of the recipe, so you should probably head over to the Blue Apron Cookbook if you’d like the exact steps for making Seared Cod – also I TOTALLY FORGOT to take photos while I was cooking.
