I enjoyed the meal. The warm bean salad had a new and tangy taste

for me. I think it was mainly the parsley and I may have used too

much. The recipe calls for 1/4 bunch. I may have put just a bit

more than that, but the bunch was huge. Next time I make it, I will

add a tad less parsley.



The warm bean salad portion is large -- about 8 oz of beans plus

1/4 of a tomato; 1/4 bunch of arugula; etc. I froze the remaining 3

portions.



I cooked the cod the way the recipe said, but next time I will spice it

up a bit for me. Also, my cooking time was a bit longer than the 8

minutes the recipe called for. I also cooked the warm bean salad a

lot longer than the recipe said (which may account for some of the

tangy flavor that I liked so much).



All in all, I thought it was pretty good.
