– The Ultimate White Wine Saffron Sauce –
The secret to this Spanish cod is the white wine saffron sauce, it really elevates this dish to a restaurant quality dish. The saffron I used in this recipe was sent to me by Golden Saffron, honestly some of the best saffron threads I have ever tasted in my life….Whatever you do, don´t use imitation saffron to make this sauce, it will not work and will heavily lack in flavor.
