Look at the colours, so vibrant. I love to have a plate full of colour 

 

Spicy Cod Bake

 

Easy one dish fish dinner 

So easy peasy to prepare ahead and then simply bang in the oven, go away and ta-dah dinner’s ready.

Do you eat enough fish? I’m not sure I do! This is a great recipe promise

It’s super low carb too (only the breadcrumbs).

One of the reasons I think  it works so well is the wonderful combination of the sweetness of the tomatoes,  the sharpness of the lemon juice and a kick of spice from the chilli.

I make it very often – so tasty and so flipping easy!

 

Another Idea for this Spicy Cod Bake ! 

My friend does this recipe with chicken strips and says it’s lovely too! I haven’t tried it yet but I really must!

You need to give it a go, really you do – my go to simple, easypeasylemonsqueezy supper.

IF you are SW you can leave the breadcrumbs out!

But if you can spare the syns I suggest you make fresh ones as it give it a lovely crunch! And on SW I miss the crunch!

 

Courgettes or Zucchini

Courgettes areAlso called Zucchini (usually in the U.S)!

So what do these courgettes/ zucchini’s contain from a nutritional point of view?

Well they contain significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese. Also know as a summer squash they also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

This makes zucchini, also known as courgette, a nutrient-dense food that you should include in your diet.
