Hello everyone,
This recipe is an ace in my sleeve every time I am inviting guests over during lent season. Applauses and compliments are countless, the dish tastes like you’re experiencing a chef masterpiece in a pricey restaurant and the time invested is the same as making a sandwich! I’m serious!
Think juicy tender flaky cod with a subtle ocean taste inside coated with thick lemony sauce with a distinct basil flavor and a little spicy hint of mustard and garlic. You just have to make it and it will become one of your favorite festive fish dishes.
Bon Appétit!
