Baked Cod Teriyaki
日式照烧鳕鱼


Here's another easy and simple. Before I have an oven I use to make this dish using the regular pan.

The ingredients are the same. Only difference is the cooking method. The latter method requires more steps and monitoring. The flavour is more intense too.

Now with an oven, I prefer the easier and the less hassle way to do it. If you want an even easier way, use instant teriyaki sauce which can be easily found in supermarkets. I prefer to make my own marinade as it allows me to control the flavours.

Whichever way you like, this is one easy dish you have to try.

Ingredients:
  • 1 piece of Cod or Salmon

Marinade:
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar or regular fine sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Wine
  • 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce

How to do it:
  1. Mix the marinade.
  2. Place cod in a ziploc bag and pour in the marinade.
  3. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag.
  4. Leave cod to marinate in the fridge for at least 1/2 an hour.
  5. Lay baking tray with baking paper (I use Glad Baking Paper)
  6. Place the cod with a tablespoon of marinade.
  7. Bake at 200c for 15 minutes.
  8. Turn over and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or till cod is completely cooked
  9. Remove and serve immediately.
Note:
I use baking paper so the cod doesn't stick to the tray during baking.

Baked Mussels in Tomato Sauce with Cheese
帕斯塔番茄酱加芝士烤青口


I was trying to clear whatever I have in the fridge and in my store before we move house to make thing easier. This was a combination of (frozen) mussels, a can of tomato base pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese which was exactly what I had and wanted to clear.

It's an easy dish. Almost an instant dish. You could have it with pasta but I had it with bread, a la chilli crab. :P

Ingredients:
  • 10 Frozen Mussels
  • 2/3 - 1 can Campbell's Prego Tomato Base Pasta Sauce
  • 1 handful Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Sprinkle of Dried Parsley (optional)

How to do it:
  1. Steam mussels for 2 minutes.
  2. Drain and set in an oven proof dish.
  3. Pour Pasta sauce over.
  4. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  5. Give it a toss.
  6. Top with Mozzarella Cheese.
  7. Bake at 190C for 10 minutes or till sauce bubbles and cheese has melted.
  8. Sprinkle on some Parmesan Cheese if you like and serve immediately with pasta or bread.
