Cod is quite healthy, and therefore deserves your attention more than once a month. Cod marinated in carrots is so loved by many because with this cooking option it turns out soft, juicy and a little sweet.

How to cook Cod in marinade

Step 1

Mix flour and salt. Roll the fillet portions in the resulting mixture, then fry in a frying pan with 40 ml of well-heated oil until golden brown (2 minutes on each side).

Step 2

Heat the remaining oil in another pan and fry the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and fry, stirring, for another 7 minutes.

Step 3

Place tomato paste in the pan, add salt, sugar, water and stir. Boil for about 5 minutes, then transfer half of the carrot mixture to a plate, add fish to the rest of the pan and cover it with the mixture from the plate.

Step 4

Cover the pan with a lid and simmer everything together for about 40 minutes on low heat, then serve.

Cod in marinade - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute cod with another type of fish?

Yes, you can use haddock, tilapia, or pollock as alternatives to cod. Just ensure the fish fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking.

How can I make this dish vegetarian?

Replace the fish with thick slices of eggplant or portobello mushrooms. Adjust cooking times slightly as these may cook faster than fish.

What's the best way to store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to preserve texture.

Can I freeze this dish?

Yes, freeze before the final simmer step for best results. Thaw overnight in the fridge and simmer for 40 minutes when ready to serve.

How can I reduce the oil in this recipe?

For lighter version, bake the fish at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes instead of frying, and use just 1 tbsp oil for the vegetables.

What sides pair well with this dish?

Serve with steamed rice, boiled potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. A fresh green salad complements it nicely.

Can I make this dish spicier?

Absolutely! Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or a diced chili pepper when cooking the onion for some heat.

How do I adjust portions for more servings?

Double all ingredients but use a larger pan. Keep the same cooking times - just ensure fish isn't crowded in the pan.

My sauce is too thin - how can I thicken it?

Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato paste?

Yes, replace 2 tbsp tomato paste with 1 cup diced tomatoes. Simmer longer (about 10 minutes) to reduce excess liquid.

Kharcho with chicken

Total Reviews:

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
