As promised, I’m back with a recipe today! This morning, we went to the wet market and found… Cod head!
I’ve roasted salmon head and literally can’t resist it in restaurants, but this is something new. I HAD to try it.
It’s simple and SOOOO delicious! So, let’s get roasting!
Roast Cod Head
Ingredients
- 1/2 large cod head (around 350g)
- garlic sprouts
- Salt or seasoning to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (360). Clean the fish head thoroughly, season and pat dry. Make sure the skin is as dry as possible for maximal crispiness. Tip: Salt is great, but for extra flavor, use steak seasoning.
- Wash, dry and cut the garlic sprouts.Place in a layer at the bottom of a large baking tray.
- Put the fish head on top of the garlic sprouts and bake for about 15 minutes. The fat should be rendering and the skin slightly brown
- Remove the fish from the oven and turn heat to 250 C (broil)
- Broil for about 8 minutes until the skin is slightly charred and crispy

The fish was INSANE- crisp skin, tender meat, perfectly seasoned. Also, Cod head has the same fattiness of salmon head, but with a milder taste. This meant it beautifully absorbed the fragrance of the garlic sprouts below. AMAZING!
Well, that’s it for this break! I hope everyone had just as amazing of a week as I did. Until next time, bye!
Yummy!
