Cod is a very light and healthy fish that is very high in selenium, iodine, phosphorous and B 12.  It also has a nice percentage of Omega 3’s which is so important to reduce inflammation. Lemon juice and lemon rind add a zest to this Cod with Zucchini  dinner for two. If you are OK with adding the wine—it adds a nice hint of flavor to the vegetables. The alcohol in the wine will evaporate.  Bon Appetit!
