Pro tip: Make the salsa ahead of time but skip the avocado until serving. Trust me, it’s a game changer. Everything else? Flawless on rice, in a salad, or tucked into a wrap. Seriously – carbs, protein, fats, AND fiber in one bowl. You just got the ultimate meal, and so does your fam! 🙌

🧿 Welcome to Episode 9/20 of @foodbymaria Greek Blue Zone. A series where I’ll be sharing recipes for longevity. Today, we’re making Creamy Poached Cod with Tomatoes and Spinach 🧿

👩🏻‍🍳🔪 Comment “recipe” below, and we will send you the full recipe or tap the link in my bio to access our website. Don’t forget to save this post for later! 🔪👩🏻‍🍳

This Poached Cod recipe takes fresh, flaky cod and drops it into a bomb broth with sweet baby tomatoes, creamy coconut milk, and orzo. Each bite is the perfect mix of creamy, savory, and subtly sweet—total flavor vibes. Ready in just 40 minutes, it’s elegant, cozy, and super easy. Perfect for impressing at a dinner party or just chilling with family. Your taste buds will be obsessed with healthy, tasty, and low-key gourmet!

I love how versatile this dish is! You can easily swap out the cod for your favorite fish, whether it’s salmon, halibut, or even a more sustainable choice like tilapia. And if orzo isn’t your vibe, switch it up with rice, couscous, or quinoa to add your own personal twist. The possibilities are endless, making it perfect for any mood or occasion!

Today @foodbymaria we’re making Cheesy Cod Fish Balls AKA Bacalhau à Brás or Bolinhos de Bacalhau 🇵🇹

🍋👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe — it will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳🍋

Bacalhau à Brás is a beloved Portuguese dish made with shredded salt cod (bacalhau), onions, and thinly fried potatoes, all bound together with scrambled eggs. This flavorful dish is traditionally garnished with black olives and fresh parsley. Its origins can be traced back to Lisbon’s Bairro Alto neighborhood, where it was created by a tavern owner known as Brás. This comforting and hearty meal has since become a staple in Portuguese cuisine, enjoyed by many for its unique combination of textures and savory flavors. 🇵🇹🍽️

Here’s my take of them, with a fun cheesy twist! And since my husband is Portuguese, we know they’re stud approved!

In this recipe I used @happyegg @crackerbarrelcheese @diamondcrystalsalt @idahopotatoes and @kikkomanusa GF bread crumbs!

NOTE: You’ll find variations of Fish Balls in many places such as New England and Portugal. You’ll also find them in different shapes too like made into fritters or cakes. This popular dish uses cod fillets, potatoes and herbs to make a delicious protein-packed snack that can be served as an appy, side dish, or even a main course when paired with a few side dishes.

Either way, you’re going to love them!

Today, @foodbymaria, we’re preparing a Crispy Chicken Cutlet topped with a crispy Maroulosalata and @parmigianoreggianousa!

Welcome Back to Episode 12 of Should Have been Greek! A series where I share lighthearted ways I can improve popular recipes by adding my Greek flare to them! Introducing, your next obsession!

Comment “recipe” below if you want the recipe for the chicken cutlets! The recipe will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website.

To make the BEST Crispy Chicken Cutlets, it’s essential to tenderize the chicken with a tenderizer or a rolling pin. This flattens the chicken and allows for an even cook as well as the most crispy surface and edges.

Crispy Chicken Cutlets (get the full recipe for the bowl + sauce on my website, link in bio)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 pieces
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, I use @kikkomanusa
1 1/2 tsp @DiamondCrystalSalt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder, I use @spiceology
1/2 tsp onion powder, I use @spiceology
2 tsp za’taar
1/4 tsp chili flakes
1/4 tsp chili powder
avocado oil for frying

Here’s how you make my Viral Maroulosalta - you can find the full recipe for the Chicken Cutlet’s linked in my bio!

1 ½ heads romaine lettuce
5 sprigs green onion
1/3 cup fresh dill chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. vinegar (or substitute with lemon juice)
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper

Top with @parmigianireggianousa
Top notch olive oil!

Wash the romaine lettuce and chop to your desired size. 
Transfer to a large bowl. 
Thinly slice the green onion and add it to the bowl along with the freshly chopped dill. 
Add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. 
Mix to combine, and adjust seasoning to taste. 
Serve this delicious salad as a side dish to any meal!!
