I wasn’t sure what to prepare for dinner and saw Cod at my local fish market and quickly thought about fennel and created this amazing meal. It was so easy to prepare this Baked Cod and Fennel in a Package and it is a great Paleo Recipe for a quick weeknight meal or any night.
Actually how cute are these packages to serve your guests. Everyone can open their own package and squeeze their lemon wedge to enjoy this delicious meal! —Cindy Anschutz

Directions
