To be honest, haddock or cod both work well depending on price and availability, but be sure to buy fresh fish always!

Fresh cod fillets from my local fishmonger are always a welcome treat in our house. I prefer to cook them on a wire rack so the bottom doesn’t get too soggy. Leftovers of the breaded cod can be gently shredded and mixed with a little mayo for an extra tasty snack or sandwich filling, so there really is no such thing as too much of this amazing dish.

March is always a trying month where lingering winter weather is concerned. What better way to wake up the senses than with refreshing cucumber salad. To keep things hearty though a rich and nutty serving of tasty lundberg wild rice is the perfect accompaniment to baked breaded cod.
