Recipe(tried): Baked Cod Loins Dinner

After DH's bypass, I was lamenting not being able to get good codfish down here in FL, and the dietician who was conducting the class steered me to Sam's Club, Frozen Cod Loins in a 4# bag. (I was doubtful to say the least!)

I would never have believed that frozen fish would be 99% as good as fresh, but these truly are. Plus the convenience of having them for a quick easy prep meal is great.

Last night, I took out four of them, thawed them for 10 minutes in cool water, rinsed and dried them. Melted some heart healthy margarine in a shallow baking dish. Then rolled the fish all sides in it, and positioned them for baking.

Then I salted and peppered them. Sprinkled some oregano over the tops, then cut thin slices of tomato and onions and placed over the entire surface of the fish.

Squeezed a little fresh lemon juice over that, then sprinkled a fine layer of Italian-flavored bread crumbs, topping with shredded (not grated) Parmesan cheese.

I baked them in 350 oven, for approx. 30 minutes. It was SO good and fresh tasting. Made parsley potatoes, steamed broccoli and salad to go with it.

You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
