Honey Lime Atlantic Cod w/ Roasted Fennel

I like to think that I’m a salmon connoisseur. Always have been, and hopefully always will be! It’s a fish that carries so much flavor and nutrients; you can’t help but love it! But let’s not forget the other swimmers here. Yes, other fish can be just as important to your diet as the POWERHOUSE SALMON.

Today, let’s talk about Atlantic Cod, a fish with mild flavor and dense, flaky white flesh. Per 4-oz portion: Total omega-3=195mg; EPA=5mg; DHA=175mg; Protein=31g

Here’s a look at why Cod is just as nutrient-dense as Salmon 

• Cod fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are needed in the body for proper brain functioning, as well as cardiovascular health.

• Cod is packed with energy-filled vitamins –>B6 and B12  help you have more energy during your workouts and while performing sports. Vitamin B6 also helps regulate hormonal imbalances. Vitamin B12 helps to reduce anemia (think fatigue) and can help increase energy levels (vitamin B12 helps produce new hemoglobin).

• The oils that come from cod fish are used as an anti-inflammatory.

This is the perfect Springtime meal or backyard BBQ.  So what are you waiting for? DIG IN!
