Aluminum cod - Doftande, nykokt folietorsk (retro)

ALUMINUM COD
Doftande, nykokt folietorsk

4 servings

1 cod, approx 3 lbs
2 teaspoons salt
1 lemon
2 tomatoes
1 small leek
1 bay leaf
4 to 5 white peppercorns
2 tablespoons butter or margarine


Take care of the cod and rinse it well (as you understand, I don’t know all the English words for gutting and cutting and everything). Cut across the back in 1 to 1 ¼ inches thick slices. Rub them with salt, both inside and outside, and drizzle some lemon juice over them. Put the slices  on a greased, large enough piece of aluminum foil.

Put a slice of tomato on each slice and sprinkle with leek cut in rings, a piece of bay leaf, coarsely crushed white peppercorns and small dabs of butter or margarine. Fold it up to look like an absolutely waterproof tent – no juices are allowed to ooze out. Place the package in an oven-proof dish or roasting pan and put it in the oven at 390F for about 30 minutes.

Do not open the package until serving, so that you all can enjoy the fragrance of the steaming hot cod. The juice in the package is the sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and finely chopped fresh herbs and boiled potatoes.

Enjoy!

Bella
