Cod Pistou
Pistou marinade is the French version of Pesto. This recipe most likely hails from the South of France and brings strong parsley, garlic and lemon flavours to your dish.
This is an excellent marinade for Cod as the flavours balance beautifully, but we like it equally for chicken or any other firm-fleshed fish.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of parsley, chopped fine
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice & Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp sel de mer
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 cup of olive oil
- 1 lb of cod filets or square cuts
Method:
- Put all the marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl
- Add the cod
- Stir to coat the fish and then let sit with cling film pressed tightly against the marinade surface.
- Grill until done and serve with green salad and crusty bread.
Alternatively, do a larger batch (cod is a big fish) and vacuum seal the fish and marinade and freeze portions for dinners later. This recipe and marinade freezes beautifully.
