Oh, I’ve decided that I need to branch out on my seafood!

I’m stuck on salmon and shrimp. I’ve actually been stuck for a while. Every time we go out to a restaurant, I order salmon. Every time I am cooking seafood at home, I get salmon or shrimp. Last time I was at my grocery store, I walked up to the seafood section and the seafood guy asked me, “so salmon of shrimp today?” That’s when it hit me, I am in a seafood rot.

So I decided to surprise the seafood guy and myself and got some COD. I brought it home …and stared at it for like 10 minutes. My mom used to make cod quite often when I was little but she always made is breaded and seared in a pan. I’ve had fried cod in a fish and chips dish quite a few times. This time, I wanted to keep this gluten free, breading free, and batter free.

I’ve decided to simply bake this beautiful fillet in a delicious butter sauce with parsley and lemon. Lemon and herbs always go beautifully with fish so you can’t go wrong with this. To complete this beautiful, light dish, throw some asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a pan!
