- one fresh cod steak per person (this recipe is for four steaks) - the recipe is even better if you do it with salted cod,which is a great product, but for some inexplicable reason it is too difficult to find salted cod in the UK.
- 2 eggs whites
- one egg yoke
- half a clove of garlic
- half a teaspoon of parsley
- 4 generous tablespoons of mayonnaise (shop bought is fine)
- salt
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
Salt the cod steaks and put them on a roasting tray (if you want you can oil a bit the tray beforehand, but it is not really necessary). Whisk the egg whites. Separately blend the mayonnaise, egg yoke, garlic and parsley (you can do this in a food processor or with a hand held blender). Mix carefully the mayonnaise mixture with the egg white and pour it over the steaks covering them completely (or just cover each steak if you want less sauce). Bake for 20 minutes.
If your children do not like the garlic flavour you can do this without the garlic, but then add another egg yoke to the mayonnaise mixture.
Children can easily help with most of the preparation for this, but ask them to be careful when they mix the mayonnaise and the egg white as if they mix too energetically you will loose all the egg whites' air.
