Cashew-Crusted Cod with Vegetable Stir-Fry is a dish that I developed while I was working as a chef at a small restaurant in California. I was always looking for new and exciting ways to cook cod, and one day I decided to try coating it in a cashew crust. The results were amazing! The cashews added a delicious crunch to the cod, and the vegetable stir-fry was the perfect accompaniment. This dish quickly became a favorite of my customers, and I've been making it ever since.
