Sous Vide Lemon Cod

Without batter, cod is usually not the most exciting fish (which is why it’s so often used in fish and chips). But cod is widely available, relatively inexpensive, and forgiving in preparation. When it’s made with the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker, and served with a little olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper, it’s a wonderful dinner.
