Baked Cod with Coconut Oil and Tomato

Lately, coconut oil is the "talk of the town" because it is a superior health food, based upon a study on the life expectancy of the people who are living in the regions where most people use coconut products. Everywhere in the market many products are made with coconut in it. Much Asian food includes coconut from sweet to savory. Coconut oil can be used for every recipe that calls for olive oil, vegetable oil, butter, or margarine. Today, I will introduce a recipe with a very short list of ingredients but produces a healthy and delicious meal.

Ingredients:
Two 6 oz cod fillets or any kind of fish
2 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs lime juice
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbs of store-bought Asian seasoning*
1/4 tsp salt and black pepper
1/2 tomato, sliced

Green onions and cilantro for garnish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°.
In a sauté pan, heat coconut oil until melted. Pour oil in a bowl and add lime juice, Asian seasoning, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Place cod onto a baking dish and pour the coconut mixture over cod. Top with sliced tomato.

Bake for 20 minutes and sprinkle with green onions and cilantro. Serve.

*Asian seasoning is sold in Asian food markets, but other seasoning can be substituted. A simple rub substitute can be created at home with a few ingredients, such as garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and some dried herbs.
