Instructions

  • Blend garlic, chili flakes, vinegar, soy sauce and olive oil with 1/2 cup of parsley until smooth.

  • Divide parsley marinade into two equal parts and pour one portion over cod and mix around until cod is completely covered in marinade.
  • Wrap one slice of bacon around the center of each piece of cod and place in roasting tin.
  • Repeat until all four cod fillets are covered with bacon.
