Tomato Herb Infusion Cod recipe

Tomato herb infusion cod This recipe was inspired by my garden. It’s the second year I’ve planted veggies and herbs and they seem to be sprouting well despite birds, bunnies and other natural elements. Basil, dill and cilantro are my absolute favorite herbs and there are so many recipes to be made with any or all of them. This mouthwatering recipe for cod (which works on any other flaky white fish) is essentially based on fish marinading and then cooked in an herb-infused broth. Enjoy!
