Baked Almond-Crusted Cod With Sauteed Bok Choy and Bell Peppers
This SIBO-friendly dish is a simple collection of flavors combined to create something greater than the sum of its parts. A delicate white fish (we used Rock Cod, but any white fish will do), fresh garden herbs, stone ground mustard, and a bed of SIBO-friendly vegetables are all plated beautifully and packed with flavor.

Grease a 9 x13 inch baking dish or pan with 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil and place the fish on top.
