Seared Cod With Chiles

I found this recipe at my local grocery and tried it. I think the cod tastes the same as cod normally tastes, but the sauce is fantastic. My kids don't like the ingredients that are in the sauce, so I made sure that their cod was finished cooking the first time and didn't put them back into the sauce to continue cooking. Hope you enjoy.
