Instructions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large deep skillet. Fry the chopped onions until lightly golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Add the rice on top of the onions. Season with the 7 spice, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, salt and black pepper, and toss well. Toast for about 5 minutes.
3. Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover tightly and cook for 15 minutes.
4. Take off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
5. Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Set aside in a bowl.
6. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with cumin, salt and black pepper. Dust both sides lightly in the flour.
7. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet used for the almonds over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through.
8. Serve the fish on the rice and garnish with the toasted almonds and parsley.
