I’ve always been a little reluctant when it came to fish. I absolutely love shellfish, but something about fish has always seemed boring. But it's a new year, so I decided to give fish another shot.  I ventured out and tried this hard to mess up Lemon and Dill Baked Cod, and it was great! You dip the fish in a butter mixture, toss some flour on it and in 15 minutes you got yourself a flavorful piece of fish! Make rice and veggies to round out the meal. Lunch and dinner for the next few days- done! I don’t know why it took me so long to start making fish.
