Mustard-Roasted Fish
We spent the most relaxing weekend at a friend's house in La Jolla, CA. We cooked, ate and didn't do a lot, which was just perfect. We found this incredible fish market called El Pescador and bought this Rock Cod, which is a small wild caught deep water rock fish, similar to red snapper. I made Ina Garten's VERY simple (5 minutes to prep and 10 to roast) Mustard-Roasted Fish. Serve it with your favorite roasted vegetables, baby potatoes, and a chilled Sancerre for a meal your friends will love.
