Notes
Notes from source: Too many recipes cover up cod's delicate flavor with potent ingredients. We used a simple homemade relish to highlight the fish's flavor. Draining and drying the peppers keeps the relish from becoming watery. Halibut or haddock can be substituted for the cod, if desired. (Original called for 2T whole almonds, toasted and chopped fine, in the relish.)Toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned and fragrant.
