Happy New Year! There is nothing like starting off the new year eating healthy. I don’t know about you, but I am easily inspired at the beginning of the year to get fit and eat healthy. My goal for my family it to cook fish at least twice a week. This is not easy, because it means going to the store often for fresh fish. Fresh fish in the middle of the high mountain desert is not easy to come by. We have a couple of fish markets, whole foods, Costco and Sam’s Club. I like to buy wild caught fish and that is not easy to find. My husband brought this wild caught cod home and I must say it was very tasty. I usually bake my fish. It is so simple and easy to do. The key to baking fish is baking it at a high temperature for about 15 minutes. Fresh fish can over cook quickly so you must keep a close eye on it. I can usually see the juice of the fish turning white or opaque, and that is my sign to check the center and remove it from the oven. The key is the cooking time varies on how thick the fillet is. Normally 15 – 20 minutes is usually perfect. For this recipe, I only used fresh scallions and parsley, but fresh dill would have been a nice addition. Overall it was fabulous. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did. Until next time - Bon Appetit, Cecelia
