It goes well with Sambar/Dhal/Rasam/Curd Rice. It is an excellent recipe which consumes less oil, if you can spend only 10mins of your time, working woman's can enjoy a tasty and healthy side dish for a whole week. Also it is always healthy to intake freshly cooked food. My son just eat the fish alone with some salad.
I have uploaded the baked version of the Cod Fish for even healthier version.
Note: Cod fish flesh is very soft hence it has the tendency to easily break, so handle it with care when you are flipping, even if its broken the cod fish tastes awesome!
