I haven't made fish dishes for a long time and I was really craving it. Since we have been eating very flavourful food for a while, I wanted to make something light and refreshing. After going through my fridge, I came up with this recipe. This fish dish was supposed to be made with river fish however all I had in my fridge was cod. I used egg white to bring out the softness and cooking wine to balance the smell of ocean fish. My 20 month-old daughter loved the fish, she kept asking more and more. She ate a whole piece of fish just by herself which was never happened before. This dish is simple and easy to make, I made this dish while making a side dish at a same time. It takes about 15 minutes.
