One-Skillet Cod and Kale With Ginger and Garlic

"Steamed cod with kale. [Photograph: Nick Kindelsperger] Cod and kale may seem like an unlikely combination, but, when cooked until tender, the robust green actually makes a fantastic backdrop to the delicate, white-fleshed fish. In this quick and easy one-skillet dinner, we braise dinosaur kale (also known as Tuscan kale) in an aromatic mixture of rice wine, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, then steam fillets of codfish on top. Why this recipe works: * Braising the kale in rice wine balances the vegetable's earthy flavor with a bright, tangy note. * The recipe's dead-simple method means it's easy to vary the basic flavors or try other varieties of kale and fish.
