Cod Salad

I came across this almost by mistake.  Had some grilled cod and balsamic salad dressing at the same meal and they mixed nicely.

Requires:
	Rice, brown is best
	Cod, flaked
	Shallot-Balsamic Dressing (recipe below)
	Shichimi
	Soy Sauce
	Green Onion, sliced finely
	Salt

Mix fresh cooked rice with Shallot-Balsamic Dressing to taste.  Mixture should be slightly under flavored.

Put flaked cod in bowl, season with shichimi and soy sauce to taste.  Add some dressing to slightly over flavor the cod.  Leave to marinate for 5+ minutes.

Toss sliced green onions into rice mixture, then turn in the cod with marinade.  Sprinkle with sea salt and toss lightly.

Serve immediately.  Good hot and even better cooled.
