Cod with Sweet Peppers
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
This quick and delicious recipe is a long-time family favorite. I like to use three or four different-colored peppers for an extra-pretty presentation. Then serve with couscous or brown rice to round out the meal. —Judy Grebetz, Racine, Wisconsin.
