Healthy fish recipes - Soy and ginger baked cod recipe
Two things to be said about this recipe: it's quick and easy, and it's healthy and very delicious. Yes, that was four things. If you like fish and you like Asian flavours, you must give this one a try. I can't take credit for it, it's my husband's, but I can say that I really enjoyed my plate of food! In fact, I'm considering creating a section on healthy fish recipes.
