Made some very yummy fish last night. And ridiculously quick & easy too! I love those kind of recipes :)<\/p>\n
Ingredients:
\n1 lb cod
\n2 tablespoons melted butter
\n2 limes – thinly sliced
\n1 teaspoon minced ginger
\n1 teaspoon fresh thyme (may substitute 1\/2 teaspoon dried)
\n1\/2 teaspoon black pepper
\n1\/2 teaspoon white pepper
\n1\/2 teaspoon dry hot mustard
\n1\/3 cup fresh cilantro
\nsea salt (to taste)<\/p>\n
Preheat over to 400 degrees. Dry the fish by gently patting with paper towel. Place half the lime slices in the bottom of a baking dish and lightly salt. <\/p>\n
Combine melted butter, ginger and spices and drizzle over the limes. Place the cod on top and cover with the remaining lime slices. <\/p>\n
Bake for 11-13 minutes. Garnish with cilantro; salt to taste.<\/p>\n
Now – this was the recipe I had. What I did to alter it slightly was used 3 tablespoons of butter. This little extra allowed me to have a small amount of sauce that could be spooned over the fish (placed on top of jasmine rice would be perfect but I skipped the carbs last night – next time!) <\/p>\n
I also didn’t have sea salt (thought I had some when getting spices at the store) so I used some pure ocean salt that I did have. You’d think they’d be the same? Or similar enough? The ocean salt is a thicker, coarser grain so you can probably use less. I am a complete, unapologetic saltaholic so I used the same amount of it as required by the recipe. Husband thought it was too salty for him – wimp :) And I left off the cilantro as I am not a huge fan of cilantro and it was garnish only anyway.<\/p>\n
The fish turned out very zesty! And spicy (although I’m the wimp when it comes to spice!) And I drizzled the sauce over the fish and the sauteed zucchini and mushrooms I made. YUM!<\/p>\n
I am SOOOO making this again. I should have taken a picture of it – I was too hungry to think about it until after I started eating :) But with the drizzled sauce and baked lime slices, it makes a nice presentation too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
