Roasted Shitakes and Pacific Cod

Pacific cod makes a good environmental choice. Pacific halibut also works, but you may need to reduce the cooking time.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, halved if large
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

    I also used Alaska Cod. Wonder what the difference is and where I can purchase it? More sustainable?

    How much parsley is supposed to be added? Chopped? Or, just a garnish?

    This was good! I made it for just me, using 1/2 of a frozen Alaskan cod fillet from Whole Foods. I also used one portobello mushroom, as they were a lot cheaper. I dropped the cook times - 5 min on the mushrooms and then only a few minutes with the fish. 450 seemed hot, but it was ok - I bet 425 would work. I made a half recipe of the sauce, but used a lot of extra mustard. This is an easy dinner that I will continue making even after the challenge.
