Description
The name "cod" has an interesting origin. In the 11th and 12th centuries, cod was referred to in Russia as a stick or rod, which makes sense—if you overcook cod fillet, it can turn into something wooden. In this recipe, we tackle dryness in a delicious way: by placing pieces of cod fillet on a bed of lemon and garnishing with tomatoes. The acidity of the lemon gently softens the fibers, while the juiciness of the tomatoes prevents it from drying out, resulting in tender fish accompanied by a light garnish.
