I love fresh fish and am fortunate enough to live on Long Island where it abounds. I don’t cook it enough and really should cook it more often. Fresh cod was on sale at my supermarket this week and I remembered that I had bookmarked a recipe from Gina over at skinnytaste that would work perfectly with cod or tilaipa or any white flaky fish or shrimp too.
What a delicious easy recipe! I think next time I will add some white wine and then throw the fish under the broiler when it’s almost done cooking but this recipe is a keeper. So go get yourself some delicious fish and make it tonight!!
I served the celery root and mandarin orange salad along with the fish.
