Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Thinly slice the cabbage.
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds.
- In a medium saucepan, add the cup of water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the cod fillet, and poach it in the simmering water for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the cod from water, let it cool slightly, and then gently flake it into bite-sized pieces. Discard the water.
- While the cod is cooling, heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and fennel seeds to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the sliced cabbage and zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the olive oil and seasonings.
- Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Gently fold the flaked cod into the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drizzle the stir-fry with 1 tsp of lemon juice before serving, adding a fresh, tangy flavor.
- Transfer the cod stir-fry to serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness and flavor.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!
Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavors of the dish.
- Avoid overcooking the zucchini and cabbage to maintain their crunchy texture.
