As a protein, wild Icelandic cod fillets are a chef's dream - a blank canvas to work with. Mild in flavour and light in texture, cod is open to any flavour combination and seems to complement anything you add to it. This recipe is packed with flavour and, because it calls for roasting the cod, you can prepare it from frozen! Mouthwatering, quick and oh-so-easy, yet elegant enough for a dinner with friends!

Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 2 ButcherBox.ca wild Icelandic cod fillets
- 1 clove black garlic
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp mixed sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup dried Shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated (or about 10 oz fresh)
Method
- Rehydrating your dried Shiitake Mushrooms: In a large bowl, cover dried mushrooms with boiling water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let soak for about 20 mins - mushrooms should almost double in size. Drain, remove stems, they're too tough to eat.
- Preheat oven to 450F. Dry fish fillets with paper towel and place on a rimmed cooking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Place black garlic in a microwave safe bowl and warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften.
- Mash warmed clove, add in olive oil and sesame seeds.
- Brush mixture over cod fillets and sprinkle mushrooms around pan and fish.
- Place in oven and cook until fillets are opaque and flake easily, approximately 12 - 15 minutes. If fillets are thicker, turn over halfway through cooking.
- Absolutely delicious when served over a lime and cilantro or coconut lime rice, with any sauce from the baking dish spooned over top.
- For a lower carb option serve over cauli rice, zucchini noodles or pan seared brussel sprouts.
