Fish, bananas, old pajamas, mutton, beef, and trout!
My fish turned out very well, I think. I ended up baking it with bacon and onions and shallots, but I think my recipe needs some tweaking.
about 6 ounces of cod cut into three pieces
3 strips of bacon
1/3 cup of spring onions, sliced
couple tablespoons chopped shallots
black pepper
cayenne pepper
little less than a teaspoon of sesame oil
Oven at 370 degrees Fahrenheit, because that's what temp the oven was at for the tater tots. Sprinkle black pepper on both sides of the fish. Wrap one slice of bacon around each piece of cod, covering the fish entirely; use more bacon if one slice isn't enough. Slap it in a casserole dish. Sprinkle very little cayenne pepper on it -- 1/8 of a teaspoon maybe. Drizzle the sesame oil over it. Turn bacon/fish over to get the sesame oil on both sides. Sprinkle the onions and shallots over the fish. Put it in the oven and cook until the thermometer reads 160 degrees, turning over once during cooking. Turn on the broiler and let it cook until the bacon and onions begin to brown, then turn it over for the other side to brown.
Ta-da! Eat it, onions and all.
What can I do to improve that? I think it needs something to lighten/brighten it up. Lemon juice? With bacon? I don't know. Lemon juice and fish is so boring. Maybe it could go salty and sweet. So something like marmalade or an orange glaze?
It was pretty good, but not all it could be. More vegetables? I could take a cue from the recipe I linked to in my last post and bake it with sweet root vegetables.
