Cod With Mediterranean Salsa

"This is a delicious and figure-friendly entree. It is quick and easy enough for weeknight meals, but it is also perfect for guests, as the presentation is lovely. I usually serve this over couscous with a green vegetable and/or salad. Enjoy!"

  1. Congrats! Your recipe is featured on our homepage today as the "Recipe of the Day" ! (07/29/11)
     
  2. Great recipe! Will be a go-to for us. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for one reason. Spraying a non-stick pan with cooking spray will cause the non-stick surface to lose its non-stick properties. If the pan is non-stick, it shouldn't be necessary.
     
  3. What a delicious recipe! I love the flavors - they do overpower the flavor of the fish a bit, but it doesn't matter because they are so GOOD!!! This is definitely a keeper. We used a little bit of leftover minced red onion instead of a shallot. It was great.
     
  4. I liked the salsa but think it would be better on chicken-probably won't make this again. There are much better cod recipes here with less prep.
     
  5. A delicious and healthy way to serve cod. After getting into the recipes I discovered that I did not have capers so had to leave them out. Also, I used minced red onion in place of the shallots. Even with my subs and omissions this is wonderful. Something I will repeat in the future.

  1. We loved this recipe! 5 stars all the way! I substituted sea bass for the cod because that is what I had on hand. Also, I grilled the fish on the BBQ instead of cooking it on the stovetop. That is the beauty of this recipe--because the salsa goes on top of the fish after it is cooked, you really can prepare the fish any way you like. I highly recommend grilling it. The salsa had excellent flavor. This is definitely a recipe that I will be making again. Made for ZWT4.

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time. <br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together. <br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites. <br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies. <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <br><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif">
