Chef’s Notes:

  • Tilapia can be used instead of Cod. Fatty fish such as trout and salmon can be used as well, however the clean and fresh taste of white fish is better.
  • Pair this with the Waldorf Salad for a refreshing, crisp lunch.
  • Fresh cilantro or basil works great with this recipe and adds a punch of flavour.
