Roasted Cod with Salsa Verde image

Cod is mild and meaty, so it pairs nicely with the tangy acidity of a sauce like salsa verde. The cod tastes very nice on it's own as well. Although the recipe calls for skin on cod, more often than not I use skinless fillets because that is what I can get. We love it.
