Cod With Peppercorns and Leeks (Ww 5 Points Plus) image

Based on a recipe from The South Beach Diet Cookbook. The intro says, "Cracked pepper gives a nice bite to mild cod fillets, while leeks sautéed with garlic" make the perfect accompaniment. This would be good served with lemon wedges and a rice pilaf side since it has a savory sauce. I cooked this in a large skillet that can go from stove-top to oven.

The recipe didn't specify what type of leeks to use. I used baby leeks, which were tender and flavorful.

The peppercorns added a nice kick to the dish, but I would have liked a bit more spice. Next time, I'll add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
