Almond Crusted Cod with Kale Salad

Feeling fishy? Sometimes I get that way too.

That’s when I resort to this recipe.

Crispy fish is served over a simple lemon kale salad for a healthy, easy meal that is satisfying and nutritious.

The fish is light and crunchy, while the salad is tender and savory, making the perfect combination.

Feel free to swap out spinach for the kale if you’d like. Or even add in a little arugula if you’re feeling fancy.
