Within the month of December and even into January do you find yourself looking at the calendar and just longing for a night at home with a home-cooked meal? I personally love having a few nights at home with a comforting meal amid all the hustle and bustle and endless parties.

Alaska Seafood, yes it is delicious, healthy and easy to prepare. I simply purchased some Alaska cod at my local grocery store. Now I made sure that it was Alaska Seafood, and nothing else. Why? Because Alaska Seafood is wild-caught and never farmed, that’s very important to me.

Next question is why cod? I enjoying preparing cod because it is light and flaky, has a mild flavor and goes well with an assortment of veggies.
This particular dish has snap peas and asparagus along with grape tomatoes and seasonings. The flavors work alongside the Alaska cod to bring a wonderfully healthy meal to my table during the season of indulgences.
In fact, this is a delightful meal to serve to holiday guests staying over, it sure beats waiting in line for a table at a restaurant. They’ll love it!

We love packet meals! They’re so simple and easy to do and when you open the foil you’re overwhelmed with all the flavours and aroma. Just delightful.
I don’t cook cod nearly enough and I love a good meal packet! Can’t wait to try this one out!
What a delicious way to get more veggies into your diet! I love the easy cleanup, too.
Cod makes such a great lighter meal!
This looks delicious! My husband loves to fish and brings home cod a lot when he does. It is always a hit at our house.
We eat a lot of fish since we live along the gulf coast. Cod isn’t one that we frequently eat. I’m willing to get some though and try this recipe out. Yum!
Great healthy, easy and flavorful meal! Love the sound of this!!
Wow, this looks so incredible! I love making fish for dinner, it is so tasty!
Putting this on the list of things to make this month! Yum!
I am with you–I am always amazed at how few ingredients can really stand out. Love the simplicity in this dish.
This looks DELICIOUS!
Those veggies look great!
I made this for the hubby tonight (I’m allergic to fish). I forgot to buy snap peas, but substituted zucchini, which I had on hand. Otherwise, I prepared it according to your recipe. Hubby loved it! He said, “that’s a keeper!” Thanks for sharing a tasty, quick, easy recipe.
Glad to hear it made “keeper” status! I love easy meals like this one!
