Cod With Peppercorns and Leeks (Ww 5 Points Plus) image

Based on a recipe from The South Beach Diet Cookbook. The intro says, "Cracked pepper gives a nice bite to mild cod fillets, while leeks sautéed with garlic" make the perfect accompaniment. This would be good served with lemon wedges and a rice pilaf side since it has a savory sauce. I cooked this in a large skillet that can go from stove-top to oven.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too much salt. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make meal.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cod was bland and the sauce was too thin.

This was a great recipe! The cod was flaky and moist, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

The cod was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing! I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the cod for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too many peppercorns. Other than that, it was a delicious and healthy meal.
