Cod with Olives

Today I offer you a tasty dish full of proteins, vitamins, iron, and phosphorus. It’s cod with olives. It’s very easy to prepare, light, and truly appetizing. A perfect main course for everyday cooking. It’s excellent both hot and at room temperature. I served it as a main course, but finely minced, I see it well also as an appetizer perhaps placed inside small single-serving cups.
