Cod….Cod….Cod….Cod is the hero of this dish. I enjoy eating all types of seafood, but I really enjoy cod. Cod has a lean and mild flavor. I use cod fillets so it is easy to cook and does not take a long time to prep. I have done this now plenty of times, the original recipe is by Gordon Ramsay, but this is my twist on it. This is a peanut and almond crusted cod with great northern beans. You can use any beans, or anything you wish to accompany the fish.
This recipe is VERY simple, and once you try it you will want more and more of it.
For this tasty meal you will only need a few ingredients.
