When I didn’t eat meat, my mom used to make this recipe, especially for me, almost every Sunday, Mediterranean Cod Fish. I love fish and seafood. When my baby was born I was recommended to eat fish or seafood at least twice a week. I do it ever since. It is not healthy only, but it also supports my creativity and joy from variation in the weekly schedule.
Try this combination of cherry tomatoes and lemon zest, it is just so refreshing. Bon appetite!
