I love using citrus fruits in marinates. Also to use them in preparing salads. Today, I am gonna share this simple and delicious recipe. It’s Baked Cod with Orange & Lime. You can substitute cod with other white fish, like Haddock. I cooked some pasta (Tagliatelle) to go with this dish with some toasted pine nuts to make the dish more interesting.

To make this dish, you don’t need a lot of ingredients. All you need are the following to make a meal for 2.

Voila, cette recette est tres facile a preparer! Bon Appetit!
