One of the easiest ways to make a quick, easy and delicious fish dish is to simply bake it.
For this quick dinner recipe, I threw a bunch of vegetables on a piece of cod and baked it for 20 minutes.
I actually made this a day before I was planning to eat it, and to reheat just threw it in a pan with some coconut oil, allowing the garlic and veggies to flavor it even more.
Cod is an extremely healthy fish and excellent protein source. Cod promotes good heart health because it contains both blood-thinning, essential omega-3 fatty acids AND two B-vitamins, B12 and B6 – both of which work to keep homocysteine levels low. Homocysteine is a dangerous molecule that is directly damaging to blood vessel walls, and high levels of it are associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
