Oven-Roasted Alaska Cod Gremolata
Recipe Courtesy of Alaska SeafoodA gremolata is a classic Italian condiment consisting of finely chopped herbs (most use parsley), lemon zest, and minced garlic. Its herbaceous and citrusy notes make it the perfect topping for the subtly flavored cod. Oven roasting the fish preserves its integrity, but just be careful not to overcook it.
