Healthy Catch: Cod Sandwich Recipe

Because of its mild flavor and dense, flaky white flesh, cod is often favored over other kinds of fish and is a particularly popular choice for fish and chips. This pan sautéed version of cod is a lot less fattening than the deep-fried version, and is still pretty damn tasty. Cod’s a great source of protein, many important vitamins and minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. Cod works great as a sandwich (or as fish tacos), but you can eat it straight or on a bed of lettuce to reduce carbs and calories. Enjoy!
