March School Holidays? And a Quick Cod Recipe...

It's the March school holidays!  Yay?!  Nay?!  Not much of a difference for us this year… yet… maybe next year onwards……

When it's the school holidays, there are lots of activities in Singapore's shopping malls, places of interests to entertain the kids.  Too many places to go, too little time!  :P


If you had been following my Facebook, you would probably have seen this "Is that a sushi?  Is that a fish?  Is that a …" post.  :)

Adapted from a Jamie Oliver's recipe, this is another quick recipe involving wild cod bought from The Alaska Guys.   

Did we just have the above?  No lah…

We had it with potato mash and sautéed mushrooms.  Eat the fish with the bacon and it's woohhhhh....... Slurps. 

Grilled Cod with Bacon and Potato Mash

(Adapted from Jamie Oliver's Grilled Cod with Pancetta & Pea Mash)

Ingredients:

1 slice of wild cod (cut into 4 portion)

2 slices of bacon (sliced)

Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 lemon (quartered)
3 potatoes (peeled and quartered)
1 small knob butter
Fresh milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.  Season the cod with salt and pepper, place on an oiled baking tray and lay the bacon over the top of each fillet.

Place the lemon quarters, cut side down and against the fish on the tray.  Roast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.

Cook the potatoes until soft in boiling salted water.  Once soft, drain the potatoes and mash with butter, milk, salt and pepper (if preferred).

Serve a piece of cod with the potato mash.  That's it!  

Quick and healthy (maybe).  A salad or sautéed vegetables at the side will definitely make a well-balanced meal!
