Have you ever done a farmers market challenge?
Do you have a summer bucket list? I certainly do! Every year, I make a list of the top experiences and adventures I want to cross off my list during the summer. One of my favorite places when the weather is nice is the local farmers market. I love seeing all of the different fruits and vegetables that are in season and talking with the local farmers. Last year, I added a farmers market challenge to my summer bucket list. Have you ever done a farmers market challenge before? It’s when you challenge yourself to make a meal from start to finish only using what you can find at the farmers market.
One of the booths in my local farmers market is a fishmonger from Michigan. I found the most beautiful cod and knew it had to be part of our challenge. From there, I topped it with a peach salsa filled with tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño…all from the market. It was seriously the best meal I’ve ever had. That’s how this baked cod with peach tomato salsa was born!
Baked Cod with Peach Tomato Salsa
It’s light and fresh and full of summer flavor. Gluten-free and dairy-free, too. The best part is it comes together in just about 20 minutes. The cod is seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and lime juice for a nice little kick. The peach tomato salsa adds a nice sweet and acidic touch to the fish. Serve with some cilantro lime rice or sautéed greens for a complete meal.
Do you love shopping at the farmers market as much as I do? It’s such a great way to support local farmers and get involved in your community. Fresh and local fruits and veggies make great meals!
