The fusion

Alicia, like any other toddler, has her whims and fancies. One day she decides that she loves eating a particular food and the next day, the same thing is poison to her. So today, I decided why not be adventurous and combine the herbs with the orange (juice) sauce and set the cod to bake? Well, I've got nothing to lose, except maybe that piece of cod that was used for the experiment... :)

Anyway, she decided that this way of flavouring her cod suits her tastebuds and so she finished the whole piece of fish. Even the last mouth of it.

Baked Cod with herbs drizzled with orange (juice) sauce

Ingredients:

• 30g cod
• unsalted all-purpose herbs
• 1/3tsp of unsalted butter
• 25ml freshly squeezed orange juice
• sugar to taste (if necessary)
• cornflour

Method:

1. Bring the orange juice to a boil in a small saucepan.
2. Add sugar to taste if the juice is too sour. We're looking at achieving a sauce that is both sweet and tangy.
3. Add a bit of cornflour water to thicken the juice slightly. Set aside.
4. Rub cod with the butter and the herbs.
5. Place the piece of cod on a piece of aluminium foil.
6. Pour the orange sauce over the cod and wrap the piece of cod up in the foil.
7. Preheat oven to 180degC.
8. Bake the cod at 180degC for 10min.
