Cod is a simple fish widely available in the Basque region of Spain and is a mainstay in their cooking. Try making a mixture of vegetables available in the fresh produce section for a different variation. This also works well with red snapper.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tsp. fresh basil, stacked, rolled and sliced into ribbons
4 cod fillets, skinned, approximately 4 ounces each
juice of 1/2 lemon
sea salt, pepper to taste
lemon slices for garnish

DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 374 degrees. Brush four large squares of foil with a little oil.

Drizzle with lemon juice and the remaining oil and season wtih salt and pepper. Fold the foil into parcels and place on a baking sheet in the oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
