Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Clean the cooked cod, removing the skin and bones and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over low heat.
Add the onions and garlic.
Add the bay leaves as soon as the onion begins to soften.
Pour in ¼ cup of water (use the cod cooking water if available).
Let it boil for 2 minutes to enhance the flavor of the bay leaves.
Add the grated carrot, mix well, and cook over low heat for another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the bread by soaking it in the milk until it softens (add more milk if necessary, depending on the type of bread you are using).
Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C).
Add the flaked cod to the onion and carrot mixture and mix well.
Add the softened bread and mix again.
Adjust the texture with water if it is too dry (use the cod cooking water if available).
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Spread the yogurt or cream on top and, using a fork, make holes so some of the yogurt can seep into the mixture.
Cover with the shredded mozzarella cheese and bake until golden brown (about 15 to 20 minutes).
Serve with a green salad or steamed vegetables.

Recipe Tips

•

When selecting your cod, opt for sustainably sourced fish for better flavor and environmental impact. If using frozen cod, ensure it is fully thawed before cooking to maintain the proper texture.

•

For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they are translucent and fragrant before adding them to the bread mixture. This will enhance the overall taste of the dish.

•

Avoid using fresh bread instead of day-old bread, as fresh bread can make the dish too soggy and prevent the proper absorption of milk. If you don't have day-old bread, lightly toasting fresh bread before adding it to the mixture can help achieve the right texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the cod with another type of fish?

Yes, you can substitute the cod with other firm white fish such as haddock, halibut, or pollock. Just ensure that the fish is cooked before adding it to the recipe.

What should I do if I don't have day-old bread?

If you don't have day-old bread, you can use fresh bread. To mimic the texture, toast the fresh bread for a few minutes or let it sit out for several hours to dry out before soaking it in milk.

How should I store leftovers of the Yum Roasted Spiritual Cod?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dish in the oven until heated through, or microwave in short intervals, being careful not to overheat.
