Mommy's Cod

Went home for lunch on Vesak Day and spent a rather nice morning yakking with mom about her new recipes. Told her that I was having the DVD Gang over in the evening and she suggested the following brilliant cod recipe which she thought up.

Black Teriyaki Cod with Sundried Tomatoes and Olives

2 pieces of black cod
3 tbsp of teriyaki sauce
1 clove chopped garlic
1 tbsp red chilli shreds
1 small lime
4 shredded pieces of sun-dried tomatoes
1 tbsp oliveoil from sun-dried tomatoes jar
2 tbsp chopped black olives
1 tbsp chopped cilantro


In a large pan, heat up 2 tbsp of oil. Cook cod under medium heat for 3 minutes each side. Set aside to cool slightly.

To prepare the sauce:

In a small bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, garlic, olive oil and squeeze in lime.
Heat in microwave for 3 minutes.

Place shredded sun-dried tomatoes and chopped olives on cooked cod. Pour hot teriyaki mixture over and serve with pilav and blanched baby asparagus.

Not sure why, but I kept thinking of the following mnemonic when I was trying the recipe yesterday.

My - Mercury
Very - Venus
Educated - Earth
Mother - Mars
Just - Jupiter
Served - Saturn
Us - Uranus
Nine - Neptune
Pies - Pluto

She served us so much more than that. Thanks Mom! Happy Mother's Day. :)
