Cod with bacon and apple cheese sauce


This is the main course of my Christmas menu this year, where the starter and dessert are all about fish and apples. So here's bacon-wrapped cod with apple cheese sauce and potatoes - really, really simple and really, really tasty!


Ingredients for 4 persons

800 g cod
200 g breakfast bacon
1 Tbsp olive oil
250 ml apple juice
100 ml mascarpone cheese
1 pinch of coarse sea salt
1 pinch of black pepper
1 small bunch of fresh thyme


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Cut the cod into 8 pieces and wrap each in 1 to 2 slices of bacon.


Heat the oil in a pan and briefly fry the fish and bacon packets on all sides until the bacon becomes slightly brown.


Then place the packets in a fireproof dish.


Pour the apple juice into the used pan, add the mascarpone cheese and heat everything slowly. Bring to the boil briefly and season with salt and pepper.


Put the fresh thyme on the bacon and fish packets, ...


...pour the sauce over it...


...and bake the whole thing in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 15 minutes until the fish is well done.


Then serve directly with boiled potatoes.
