Pound for pound, fish contains more water as compared to other meats. For this reason, fish feels “lighter” and is perfect for the warmer months. Best of all, it takes only minutes to cook. This Broiled Cracked Pepper Cod is a dish I concocted recently and it is fast becoming a favorite at our house.

The cod is simply flavored with dried thyme, coarsely cracked black pepper, and sea salt. Bell peppers, onions, and garlic are added to make it a one-pan dish. I served the fish with brown rice but baked or mashed potatoes would also be delicious.

Please feel free to use any kind of preferred fish fillet. Trout, tilapia, and salmon will all work. Cooking times may differ by just 2 to 3 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.

      My broiler only has one setting. It is most likely high.
