A few tips:
- I prefer to prepare my fish on a little lower temperature in the oven (150 degrees Celsius). This makes the fish very tender, juicy and prevents it from becoming dry and boring.
- Use a good quality cod fillet. This dish only includes three main ingredients and the cod fillet is one of them, hence you really want it to be fresh, tender and of good quality.
- The same goes for the feta cheese. Use a high quality feta cheese that is creamy and flavorful. Don’t use the cheaper once.
- Make sure to use a sweet and ripe watermelon and not a bland and tasteless one. The watermelon provides both sweetness and juiciness so you want it to be sweet and fresh.
