Crispy Cod with Lemon Dill Sauce

Fish is always a better option when comes to eating healthy but most of the time they are a little too light as a meal for dinner..... which I always ended up snacking on something agin before hitting midnight.

So bearing that in mind (to avoid eating twice at night) I have decided to pick Cod fish. They are richer then most fishes and will probably (it did!) able to keep me satisfied till the next morning.

The lemony sauce still linger in my mouth... yummy...

Here's my recipe to share... the recipe serves 2 person

2 tsp paprika powder

1 tsp freshly grind black pepper

1 tsp salt  or less

2 tbsp cooking oil

Lemon wedges

For the  sauce
1 tbsp custard powder

2 tbsp gherkins or pickles ( I used dill pickle) - finely chopped 

5 tbsp mayonnaise (I used low fat mayonnaise)
