Baked Cod

This is such a simple low fat meal to prepare. If you can't get cod, most other mild-tasting white fish, such as orange roughy or tilapia. I actually used true cod, or Pacific cod. How long you broil or grill the fish depends on its thickness. As a rule, allow 10 minutes per inch. If it's still not spicy enough for you, try a pinch of cayenne pepper in the mix.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Total Time: 11 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets (or any mild-tasting white fish)
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• Half a lemon

Preparation:

Preheat broiler. Spray broiler pan or cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle then rub spice mixture over both sides of fish fillets. Place fish on broiler pan or cookie sheet. Broil for 5-6 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once.

Squeeze lemon over cooked fish and serve with couscous or rice, and a selection of vegetables.
