Roast Cod with Garlic Butter
April 11, 2010
Last week, my friend Melly brought me this recipe from her Coastal Living magazine, she said “Lu”, there are a few
recipes in this magazine that look really good, try them and share your thoughts. So the first one I decided to try was this “Roast Cod with Garlic Butter”, it was so good that we had it two saturdays in a row! It was an elegant dish that was effortless to prepare. There was enough garlic butter left in the pan to drizzle over the with wild rice and steamed broccolli/cauliflower, that I served with this very delicious fish!
Cod with it’s mild flavor is a popular dish that is low in fat. Cod also contains a good source of vitamin B12, B6, and niacin that can have great cardiovascular benefits, especially for women. Check out this link here to learn more about the benefits of cod. Please enjoy!
