Valentine Sablefish

This is the romantic entree for your special Valentine. This fish, along with grilled or steamed asparagus and a small salad, is a no hassle dinner that will impress! Sablefish, also known as black cod, is a delicate fish that is so wonderful that it needs no special accompaniments. Baked simply, it is elegant and rewarding, making the evening meal a special event. It has a rich and buttery flavor, but is still heart healthy because it is a denizen of the deep ocean waters and is rich in Omega-3s. Be aware that some small bones may still be embedded in the fillets. Once baked, they are easily removed by the attentive diner.
