Cod for Dinner

Last night we had cod for dinner. We've actually never bought cod ... it looked really fresh on Sunday so we thought we'd give it a try.

Found a great recipe that was easy and quick to make. I didn't have all the ingredients so I improvised and it turned out to be detox- friendly too!

I put the cod fillet on a piece of parchment paper and preheated the oven to 400 degrees. I shaved (used a mandolin slicer!) some white onion and shaved half a bulb of fennel on top, sprinkled some sea salt and pepper and some parsley, poured a few teaspoons of olive oil on top and folded the parchment paper to make a little package with the cod inside and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Took it out, sprinkled some fresh lemon juice on top and served it with some salad.

It was a very mild fish and the fennel and onion really gave a 'boring' fish some flavour.

Apparently the Portuguese love cod - salted cod - so I guess we'll have some of that in our near future as we leave in a couple of weeks for Portugal!!!
