Fresh Fried Cod with Aioli (Bakaliaros Skordalia)

Written by Published on Updated on July 29, 2019 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Happy Monday!!!  Fish is definitely something I don’t post quite often.  This is actually one of the main dishes that we ordered back in May at the Tavern on the Island. We don’t eat much Fish but this is one that we do. 🙂 My husband loves Aioli so his side order is also a little extra than usual 🙂

I try to avoid frying as much as possible, but this recipe just cant be made any other way. 🙂  The Cod is fried and served with a small amount of Aioli, or otherwise known in Greek Skordalia.  Now, Aioli, is packed with boiled potatoes and garlic.  You read it correctly it is packed with Garlic, so this is definitely something I don’t even come close too.  I have given it a try in the past but …wayy too much garlic. 

My Father in Law who comes from the Island of Cefalonia is the one who often makes this and his recipe asks for one HEAD OF GARLIC!!  but who am I to judge what someone likes to eat. 🙂  Now, as  Cook I often make food that I don’t eat, and Garlic is definitely one of those ingredients.  Another ingredient that I avoid are the Jalapeno Peppers,  But on the other hand I do enjoy adding Chili and Pepper flakes into my soups sometimes. 🙂  

In the next few months I will post this recipe so that you can give it a try. 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!

 

KALI MAS OREXI!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
