Slip on those mittens, because tonight’s simple and complete dinner comes straight out of the oven. No fuss!
Fish dishes are some of the most common and healthy in all of Italian cuisine. There are many people who are terrified of cooking fish, but you shouldn’t be—it is so easy and takes so little time to make a delicious and flavorful meal. Roasted cod is packed with protein, high in potassium and low in carbs, and takes only a few minutes to prepare. I paired it with some french green beans and hearty potatoes to round out this satisfying meal. Please always buy the freshest fish. You can substitute red snapper, tilapia or haddock if cod is unavailable.
