For best results, use high-quality saffron threads and infuse them in a tablespoon of warm water for 15 minutes before adding to the marinade to extract maximum flavor and color. Feel free to substitute other firm white fish such as halibut or sea bass for the cod. Serve with couscous or rice, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
