MEDITERRANEAN SKILLET COD (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 1)



Mediterranean Skillet Cod (South Beach Diet Phase 1) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Servethe cod in shallow bowls with soup spoons so you don't leave any of the rich sauce. This recipe is best made with red, full-flavored, Spanish pequillo peppers, which you usually find among the other jarred peppers in the supermarket. You could use roasted red pepper instead.

  • Soak the cod in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities and make the fish more tender.
  • Season the cod generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the cod over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the cod immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for cod include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean cod is a healthy and delicious dish that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a succulent and flavorful cod dish that your family and friends will love.
