Steamed Cod With Scallions and Lime Juice and Green Beans With Almonds
I never was a person who enjoyed eating fish. Oh, I love Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallops and I did like an occasional fish fry featuring breaded cod. I tried Tilapia a few times. In a recent effort to expand my horizons I tried Steamed Cod. It was tender, juicy and delicious! Along with Green Beans with Almonds and a side of Couscous it was a tasty and healthy meal that I really enjoyed. I even had the leftovers for dinner! I may be on a roll!
