This dish combines wonderful flavors and brilliant presentation, plus just the hint of infused cedar. This is the type of thing that I would serve out in the garden on a wonderful Spring, Summer, or Autumn afternoon. When cobalt blue skies, and sun-bleached clouds create make-believe shapes for our pleasure, and the birds are singing a relaxing chorus from the surrounding trees. It’s very simple to put together, but so yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make cod baked on cedar paper with tomato salsa

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

THE SALSA
Step 3

Gather your ingredients.
Step 4

Place all the ingredients into a small non-reactive bowl.
Step 5

Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and then cover and reserve.
Step 6

THE FISH
Step 7

Gather your ingredients.
Step 8

Place the cedar papers in water for 10 minutes.
Step 9

Chef's Note: Cedar papers are very thin sheets of cedar wood and cooking in them is sort of like cooking in parchment paper. You can prepare the fish inside the cedar papers on the grill, stove top or in the oven. Here is a link to find them: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=cedar+grilling+papers&rh=n%3A1055398%2Ck%3Acedar+grilling+papers
Step 10

Chef’s Note: If you want to have some fun, soak the papers, in wine or apple juice.
Step 11

Combine the coconut oil, lemon juice, and the garlic in a small bowl.
Step 12

Place the fish in the bowl, and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 13

Chef’s Note: Turn the fish over, every 5 minutes.
Step 14

Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
Step 15

Remove the fish from the marinade, and cut into 4 equal pieces.
Step 16

Place a piece of the fish in the middle of the cedar paper, add a few thinly-sliced veggies.
Step 17

Chef’s Tip: Choose veggies that will give the dish some color.
Step 18

Roll the cedar paper up and secure with some butcher’s twine.
Step 19

Chef’s Note: Repeat for the other cedar papers.
Step 20

Place in the preheated oven, and bake until the fish is cooked and easily flakes, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 21

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 22

Remove from the oven, cut open the cedar, and spoon on some of the reserved tomato salsa. Enjoy.
Step 23

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
