Cod with Shaved Mushrooms and Truffle Oil and Cauliflower Puree

Good food does not have to be overly complicated, have a arms length of ingredients nor be bad for you. Tonight's dish was very easy to prepare and simply delicious.

I use a slight...and I mean slight amount of truffle oil to finish the dish. No reason to go overboard with the truffle oil, as it will just give you wasted calories, but more importantly, it will over power every other flavor, If you've never used truffle oil, be careful because it is very easy to over do. Also make sure you purchase a quality product, most truffle oils are garage and contain little to no truffle at all and taste artificial at best.  The oil by Urbani is a good product and can purchased from Amazon.com

• 1.5 lbs of Cod cut into four pieces ( I used two pieces)
• 2 large portobello mushrooms, shaved on madoline

Cook on each side about 3-4 minutes,. Add mushroom to pan after first side of fish has cooked, you do not wat to over cook these mushrooms as they have been shaved thin and don't take long to cook.
