(Contains: Eggs)
1 unit
Lime
½ ounce

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop pepitas.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
Stir in rice and one packet of cumin (two packets for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
Stir in 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, pat cod* dry with paper towels. Place, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and rub to coat. Season all over with ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, half the remaining cumin (all the remaining cumin for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until cooked through, 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until charred on both sides and fork-tender, 5-7 minutes. TIP: If pan seems dry, add another drizzle of oil. If Brussels sprouts are browning too quickly, lower heat.
Turn off heat; stir in honey, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), lime zest, and juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine chimichurri, mayonnaise, and juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings).
Divide rice between shallow bowls. Top with cod and Brussels sprouts in separate sections. Drizzle chimichurri aioli over fish. Garnish with pepitas and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
