There is nothing better than a good piece of fresh cod. It sure takes me back and you just can’t beat that flavour. Growning up in Newfoundland, I have eaten my share of cod. Dishes like Cod au Gratin and Fresh Cod Fish Cakes stand out in my mind the most. But as a kid didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now. I would give anything right now for a fresh cod caught down the arm. That’s not going to be happening today. No. Since I live a million miles away, I have to make do with what I can get at the local fish counter. So “fresh” from the bay it may not be, but it sure was pretty delicious.

This particular combination of fresh fish, veggies and hint of spice was downright moorish. Yes, you wanted to go back for more. We ate them just as they were for a light dinner. You could always add Crispy Oven Roasted Parmesan Baby Potatoes and why not some Fluffy White Dinner Rolls for a more substantial meal.

Notes About These Cod Fish & Veggie Parcels
To Cook in the Oven
- Preheat oven to 350. Cook for approximately 20 – 25 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
To Cook on a Barbecue
- They can be cooked on a gas or charcoal barbecue no problem. On a gas barbecue, preheat to a medium heat and cook directly over heat for about 20 minutes. On a charcoal barbecue, the same cooking time will apply
