Following the Mediterranean diet, fish is kinda essential for my family. It’s about the one food that shows up on the menu twice every week. Sometimes, our fish dinners go far–as far as a fish stew from Sicily or an Egyptian-inspired fish Shakshuka cooked in a tasty tomato sauce. But more often than not, I opt for something simple like pan-seared salmon or today’s baked cod recipe with lemon and garlic.
Cod fillet is a beautiful thing. It’s easy to cook, and because it’s a mild-tasting fish, the ways to give it glorious flavor are endless.
