Herb & Lemon Crusted Cod

The cod before baking

4 cod fillets
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. ground black pepper
1 large red pepper
1 large orange or green pepper
1 medium onion
2 tbsp. butter

Rinse each cod fillet in cold water. Pat dry. Place cod fillets skin side down in a casserole dish (use two if necessary). Cut peppers and onion into thin strips and place on top of each piece of cod. Sprinkle black pepper, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice over each piece. Pour the white wine over the fish. Place 1/2 inch cube of butter on top of each piece. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes until the fish is white and flaky and the vegetables are soft.

Pair this colorful, healthy cod recipe with baked green beans. Simply place two bags of pre-cut frozen store bought string beans on a baking sheet with 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 3 tsp. of salt. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes until browned and soft.
