Fish Tacos
I am a late-comer to the delights of fish tacos. For some reason, the idea just didn't appeal to me. I am now a believer! These are fast, easy, fresh and scrumptious.

Instructions
- Combine seasonings in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil in a baking dish, large enough to accommodate the filets. Place the cod in the dish, sprinkle half the seasoning mix over the top. Flip the filets and sprinkle the remaining seasoning over top. Dot each filet with the butter and place in a 375°F oven for 20 minutes or until done.
