A few tips:
- Use a cod fillet that is thick and of good quality to make sure you really have a good bite of fish that has a lot of taste and texture. Don’t but a cheap, think and bland cod fillet. It will just make the dish bland and boring. This is really key!
- You can adjust the amount of fish sauce and lemon juice according to taste.
- You can also add some fresh chili if you prefer this dish more spicy.
- Make sure not to overtake the cod fillets, that will make the dish really boring and bland. Bake it until the inner temperature reaches 54-57 degrees Celsius (depending on how raw you prefer your fish). I like to take it out at already 52-53 degrees and let it rest for a few minutes until it reaches 54 degrees. Yes I love my fish with some texture left and not over baked.

Ingredients
- 2 Cod fillets
- 1 Zucchini sliced
- 1/2 Aubergine sliced
- 1 Shallot chopped
- 1/2 Lemon zest
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For the sauce
- 1 small Shallot minced
- 1 cm Fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 1/2 Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- Furikake, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celcius.
- Combine the ingredients for the sauce.
- Prepare four parchment papers (placing two papers on top of eachother).
- Add sliced zucchini and auberinge at the bottom.
- Add a cod fillet on each parchment paper package.
- Top with half each package with 1/4 of the sauce (leaving half of the sauce in total left for serving).
- Add lemon zest on top of each package and season with sea salt and black pepper. Fold the parchment paper into a package making it resemble a tent.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of your cod fillets) just until tender and soft. I prefer to have my fish soft and tender, but still with a liiiittle chewing restaince left and not fully cooked. Make sure not to bake it for too long so it gets dry and boring.
- Check if the fish is tender and soft and then remove from the oven.
- Serve immediately while warm with the remaining sauce.
