I guess I'm a slow study or just plain stubborn.
Like all of you, I prefer fresh food. If I can get it fresh, not
frozen or canned, I do. Since I live out in what would be considered
"the boonies" a lot of the fresh food I buy wouldn't last until the
next shopping trip, and I end up throwing away a lot of what I buy.

I have finally started trying some frozen foods. I bought some frozen
cod fillets and some frozen french cut green beans.

I was really impressed with the cod. There were three individually
wrapped fillets in the bag.
While the fillets were defrosting I chopped up some garlic and
lemongrass then dusted them with white rice flour. I was going to use
the soy sauce but changed my mind. I deglazed with white wine instead.

To the browned butter I added some olive oil and the fillets. When I
turned the fillets I added the garlic and lemongrass.

Plated. Nice light crunchy coating and tender and juicy inside.

I think I'll pay closer attention to the frozen food section.
