Steamed Cod Fillets

Cod is a really healthy and natural part of your diet, ideal for those who want to eat flavourful food while keeping an eye on the nutritional value of their meals, limiting the intake of unnecessary fats and, as just mentioned, without sacrificing any degree of taste. Use frozen cod: even if it is not fresh it is rich in Omega 3, the essential fatty acids for cardiovascular health and for maintaining low cholesterol levels. With its excellent nutritional properties cod is suitable for all ages, especially children and the elderly who should include it in their diet at least once a week, accompanied by steamed vegetables, boiled potatoes and fresh salad. In short, a diet full of flavour and health, the latter a concept that often gets forgotten in favour of time consuming, elaborate and fattier dishes. So, off we go to the kitchen to make your steamed cod fillets: it will become a fixture of your family’s meal time.

Bring some water to boil in a saucepan, then put a steaming basket with the cod fillets in the saucepan, drizzle with a little oil and lemon juice and sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and cook for about 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
