Champagne Steamed Cod

This elevated version of steamed cod is the perfect summer dish. The cod is light, flaky and delicate with subtle notes of orange and champagne.

For me, this is the ultimate summer meal to enjoy al fresco. The lightness from the cod is filling without feeling like you are having a heavy protein rich meal.

Do you have to use Champagne? Of course not! A fruity Prosecco or Asti work lovely as well. It is important to use a sparkling wine that you enjoy.
