Miso Cod and Roasted Veggies

This recipe was life-changing for me to change my viewpoint of cod.  I mean I've enjoyed some pretty amazing cod at some spectacular restaurants in New York but aside from that, I've never had a thing for it.  I don't do fish often and when I do I don't typically choose cod.  However, because I was cruising the aisle at the local grocer I noticed some frozen wild cod and thought I'd give it a try.  Now this was a challenge because I had to make it tasty!  So I came home, went through all of my spices, oils and etc. and came up with a little marinade concoction that actually turned out to be quite delightful!

Vegan Lentil Pasta with Almond Tumeric Slaw
