In the midst of a busy week, it can be tough to find healthy recipes that save time AND taste good. In between your workouts, driving the kids to practice, and countless other tasks, dinner plans can fall to the wayside before you even realize it; and you inevitably end up hastily ordering takeout to satisfy the hunger in a pinch. We’ve been there, too— and we know how frustrating it is to have a tasty dinner planned, only to change it up at the last minute in favor of something quicker because there just aren’t enough minutes in the day.
With this recipe steamed cod recipe, you’re getting the best of all worlds; and you don’t have to worry about wasting money on ingredients you don’t use in favor of a prepared meal, because this recipe takes a total of 20 minutes from start to finish AND uses only 6 ingredients (plus salt and pepper— but that’s a given!). You’ll enjoy your dinner, but you might enjoy all that extra time on your hands even more!
