Recipe: Norwegian Cod, Wild Garlic Miso and Barbecued Asparagus | #OhMyCod

P1050469

Here’s another skrei-umptious recipe: cod with wild garlic miso and barbecued asparagus, compliments of Chef Robin Gill of The Dairy in Clapham via the Great British Chefs website. With the wild garlic and the asparagus, it makes a great dish for the mid spring feasting.

I learned how to make this dish at an asparagus masterclass hosted by Great British Chefs at Le Cordon Bleu London with Chef Gill at the helm demonstrating how to prepare it and Cordon Bleu’s Master Chef Anthony Boyd offering hands on instruction as well.

Sure, in the kitchens of Cordon Bleu with personal guidance from two fabulous chefs and access to top of the line equipment, it was such as pleasure cooking this dish. But the cool thing is this recipe would be a breeze to follow on your own in the most basic of kitchens. Have a look:

About Skrei

Skrei is cod sourced from the wild coastal waters of Norway’s far north between the months of February and April when it returns from the Barents Sea to spawning grounds near Lofoten and Vesterålen. Its epic journey through clean, cold waters makes for especially succulent and flavoursome meat. Skrei is without doubt the tastiest cod I’ve ever had.
