Cod Florentine
This recipe is not only delicious, but beautiful to the eye! Italians do eat with their eyes but if it looks beautiful, we know it will taste wonderful! You can use cod, haddock, flounder, or any other white flaky fish for this recipe. I just love the spinach, garlic, and combination of herbs to make this a perfect dinner!
A huge thank you to City Fish as they provided all of the seafood for my.
