Answer 2

I like to steam my cod. I put a layer of Romaine lettuce in the steamer, place the cod in a single layer on top and then cover with another layer of the Romaine. Steam 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your cod. The Romaine, steamed, tastes like a mild spinach. Serve either with a drizzle of raspberry vinaigrette or with some homemade tartar sauce. You could make some baked fries to go with it if you wish.

Answer 3

Here's a couple of ways. The low fat would be to bake in oven and baste with lemon butter. Or you can crush cracker crumbs in your food processor and add either a small amt of garlic powder, or italian seasoning , or lemon pepper or just salt & pepper. Fry on medium heat until golden brown on both sides and fork flaky. Oh either dip fish in beaten egg mixture or milk. Let me know what you think.
