What should I do with cod?

Penny-Wise_4

Jamie Oliver did a fantastic cod recipe - sounds a little weird but tastes wonderful:

in a small baking tray/oven dish put cod fillets, a chopped avocado and a handful of basil, drizzle over some olive oil and a small pot of cream and top with cheddar cheese. bake in a medium oven for 20 mins. serve with a salad and new potatoes.

just as the title says!!!

need to give my little one fish but we dont eat it at home so we have no idea, of course we will be trying some too and if we like it then we will be converts!

Dont you cook it the same as you would an adult but mash it up a bit for the little one.

Can't you steam it or fry it or poach it?

For little one I would cook in a bit of milk and no more for the first time so she just enjoys new taste of fish. But for mum and dad i will leave to more experienced lovers of fish and how to cook it.

baby milk or cows milk?

chatta

I used cows milk, it was only couple of tablespoons. I wrapped fish and milk in oven for few mins as i had oven on (trying to save money) but saucepan on low heat will do. Served with mash and peas all mixed together, well I liked it!!!

DilbertJones

ok so a tiny bit of cows milk to poach the fish in, is it done in a small saucepan? or wrapped in foil in the oven?

I got the oven on doing baked spuds for mummy & daddys tea so could pop it in towards the end.

sorry if i sound a complete novice!!!

chatta

In the oven, then mixed with some of your baked spuds!!! Sounds good to me, I think served with peas or any other veg you are having sounds nice. I just tried to only bring one new taste at a time when weaning them. So use what ever milk they are used to.

Either make a foil parcel of it with the milk (put in another pan in case of leaks) or poach in a saucepan with milk, or steam over a saucepan of water & serve mashed/falked with a couple of tablespoons of milk, all will achieve the same thing, saucepan/steaming will probaby be a bit quicke at around 10 mins, or I'd give it about 20 mins in the oven then test to see if it's "flakey" in the middle, if not give it a bit longer (depends on thickness).

HTH;)

Let it cool after it's cooked and flake it with your fingers, just to make sure there are no little bones in any of it.
