Yield Makes 2 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound (500g) fresh cod fillet
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces (90g) thinly sliced slab bacon, rind removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
For the sauce:
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 shallot
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • 1. Season the cod all over lightly with salt and pepper. Roll or fold the cod so that it looks like a small roast, and wrap the bacon around it, securing the pieces of bacon with a skewer or toothpick, so the cod is almost completely covered with the bacon (except at the "corners").
  • 2. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown it on all sides, which will take about 6 minutes. Cover the skillet and continue cooking the cod until it is cooked through, about 16 minutes, turning it occasionally so it doesn't burn.
  • 3. While the cod is cooking, make the sauce. Mince together the parsley and the shallot and place in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil. Coarsely chop the capers and whisk them into the sauce.
  • 4. When the fish is cooked, transfer it to a warmed serving platter and let it sit for about 4 minutes. Remove the skewers or the toothpicks and drain away any liquid that comes from the fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cod turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly.

This recipe was a waste of time. The cod was bland and the bacon was soggy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cod turned out overcooked. I think it would be better to cook the cod for a shorter amount of time.
