Comments
This recipe is from The Village Cook. I made it with cod, although any similar fish would work just as well. I thought it was super tasty and also very simple. The sauce makes probably twice as much as you actually need, but I served it with rice which sopped up the sauce quite well. Super tasty and a recipe I hope I’ll remember to make in the future.
