Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Skordalia

Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them thoroughly. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, white vinegar, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Make the Black Garlic Aioli

In a blender, combine mayonnaise, black garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Prepare the Cod

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the cod fillets with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillets.

Bake the Cod

Place the seasoned cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

On a plate, serve the baked cod alongside a generous spoonful of skordalia and a dollop of black garlic aioli. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
