CHILI-RUBBED COD
2 Cod fillets
chili powder, to taste
A dash of paprika
Olive Oil
SEASONED ACINI DI PEPE
1 lb Acini di Pepe pasta (The original recipe called for Israeli Couscous... but I can't find them anywhere. Same crap. I als
3-4 tbsp Lemon juice (A *big squeeze*)
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Chopped scallions
1 tbsp Chopped parsley (A *sprinkle*)
Salt & pepper, to taste

Preparation

-In a frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. (A grill would be even better. Unfortunately, our BBQ got disgusting after being left out in the yard during the winter. Would you like some grilled rust perhaps?)
-Season cod filets with a generous rub of chili powder. Sprinkle on some paprika for color, and rub into the filets.
-Add the filets to the searing oil, and step back (unless you enjoy being scalded by flying hot oil...kinky). Fry for 2 minutes per side, to make a nice crust. Lower the heat to medium, and continue cooking the filets for about 5 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through.
-Meanwhile, prepare acini de pepe as described on box. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, sugar, and lemon juice. Slowly pour into the acini de pepe, mixing and checking for taste. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Add scallions and parsley into the acini de pepe, and mix. Season with salt and pepper. Almost too easy.
