A tasty, citrusy, light fish with minimal prep and maximum flavor. Flaky and buttery, this cod will be something that even your kids will eat. I usually pair this with a lemon couscous and crispy brussels sprouts. Tools you'll need are: an oven safe dish (preferably glass), cutting board, small bowl, and a knife. With prep time included, this should only take 30 minutes at most. Since cod doesn't need long to cook and can easily be over-cooked, oven time will usually only need 10-15 minutes if the cod is thawed or fresh and depending on oven temperature. ~The Creator
