Fantastic! Definitely a keeper. This recipe is delicious and so easy to make. Blanching the baby bok choy is not necessary, since the veggies cook down when you cook them in the pan with the other veggies. This recipe provided enough food that we didn't need any sides. Black cod is also known as sablefish or butterfish. If you can't find it, regular cod works as well, however, it is not as buttery as black cod.
