IMG_5802

If you like fish( or not), this is a great recipe, Cod is a great introductory fish to a family who may not have the feel for the consumption of fish.  It is a popular saltwater fish that is mild-flavored, lean with firm white meat. It is also an excellent low-calorie source of protein; a great alternative should you be looking to change up your meat rotation during the week.  I have been trying to do a bit of all meats and fish so we can have a variety of foods. This particular recipe is fast and uncomplicated and would be great for a day you don’t have a ton of time.  The whole meal can be presented in about 25 minutes.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 pounds cod fillets

salt and ground black pepper to taste

4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill divided

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed

lemon, zested

1 lemon, cut into wedges

¼ cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. coat your baking sheet with olive oil.

Season the fillets  with salt and pepper and arrange fillets on prepared baking surface.

I love to cook and travel. There is nothing like experiencing new cultures and of course the food. I am really happy doing charcuterie trays, this has been my new obsession for the last two years. So much creativity and fun goes into each board.

I have no formal training in nutrition or in cooking, however, I love to do it and my family reaps the benefits.

Enjoy the blog, I would love to hear from you!

  1. I’m not a huge fan of cod, but will definitely make this recipe with another fish. Salmon would be good since it pairs well with dill.

    1. I’m just beginning to eat fish so I am starting out slow. I have tried salmon but have yet to cook it. The caper dill would work wonderfully I am sure. Thank you for the comment.

  2. reading all that made my stomach growl for some reason.
