Low FODMAP Cod with Preserved Lemons & Basil
Before you think that Cod with Preserved Lemons & Basil sounds uber fancy schmancy, hear me out.
I had no idea what to cook one summer night. I happened to have some Preserved Lemons in the fridge from months ago – they last a long time – and this Low FODMAP Cod with Preserved Lemons & Basil dish came together FAST!
Stock That Pantry
I am constantly reminding people that just because you are cooking low FODMAP doesn’t mean you can’t eat really well. And having your fridge and pantry shelves stocked with high quality dried herbs, really good quality Garlic-Infused Oil and many condiments from which to choose will make your cooking easier, more enjoyable and tastier!
In the summer I have fresh herbs right outside my kitchen, too, but these can always be purchased.
It is true that I am a professional cook, but there are MANY avid home cooks out there and if you haven’t checked out our preserved lemons recipe yet, I invite you to.
And once you do have preserved lemons around, you will want to use them. Try them with our Moroccan Chicken, as well. But back to the fish…
(BTW if you are a self-proclaimed foodie, please join us at Low FODMAP for FOODIES on Facebook).
So crank up the oven, prep your fish in the time it takes for the oven to preheat, and dinner is then about 10 minutes away.

- Adding some green or black olives is a lovely addition. Simply scatter them on right before roasting. A dusting of paprika is nice, too.
