Fish Florentine

 My local Kroger had Fresh Wild-Caught Cod on Manager's Special this week, ergo, it's what's for supper this week!

 i found this recipe, which originally called for flounder, in my 1950s Good Housekeeping cookbook and have made it several times already.  Last night was the first time i'd substituted cod for the flounder, and i do believe it's even better!  i suppose, however, that any mild whitefish would work just fine.

 i served this last night with brown rice and crusty French dinner rolls (the Pillsbury frozen ones, which are truly awesome & doubly so when bought on sale with a coupon for 40¢ a package, which works out to 4¢ each).
