The fish section at Whole Foods was having a sale on Cod fish so I figured this would be a good time to start cooking it. Because it's meatier than Tilapia I assumed I could use a marinade to really bring out some new flavors. I was serving this with creamy pasta so I wanted to offset the creaminess of the pasta with a flavor punching mixture based on olives and garlic. I also picked up some fresh rosemary to stuff the fish fillets, when cooked in the fish juices, the rosemary tasted delicious! This fish tasted great on a bed of fresh lettuce and with some whole wheat bread and glass of white wine. Next time I make cod I would like to try and make fish and chips.
