Cod & Cilantro.. Love it or hate it !

Cilantro is not for everyone.. But, I love it..
And Cod, well is there a whiter, fresher, more wonderful fish for everyday eating??
Daddy and I just watched our beloved Steelers play Denver. What a game.. But, alas, they lost in overtime. The very first play. Ughg!!!!!
Anyway, we needed to eat and I had planned on Cod. Baked etc. Daddy said he wasn't very hungry having lost his appetite cause of the game. So I remembered this bunch of fresh cilantro I had in the fridge.. AND, I thought,well. Butter in a skillet on medium high heat, then rough chop the cilantro add the cod that I cut into filets, added sea salt and lemon squeezed all over, place fish into skillet on the butter and cilantro and put the lid on and every once in a while shake the skillet to keep from sticking. Cooking about 7 minutes. Meanwhile in the microwave I heated Bob Evans mashed potatoes. (if you follow,the directions they are great)!
Because of the lid on the skillet there is a bit of sauce made with the lemon and cod and cilantro..... The last 2 minutes I spooned an Italian viniagrette on the fish rather liberally...VOILA... In 10 minutes there is a quick delicious meal.. Plate in a pasta bowl, then spoon in mashed potatoes, place Cod on top and spoon a bit of the sauce from the pan. Serve with a very cold Chardonnay. And WOWOWOW!!!!!!! Really delicious!!!
