Why it works
- Celiac disease: Naturally gluten-free: fish, vegetables, herbs and plain rice with no stock, sauces or thickener.
- Wheat allergy: Nothing breadcrumbed or dredged here: the cod bakes plain with herbs, oil and salt.
- Gluten-free: Rice and a sheet pan do the work — no flour, pasta or store-bought broth in the pan.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
