Ikan Kod Bakar
Indonesian Broiled Cod
I had some frozen cod I wanted to use, and this Indonesian recipe for broiled tilapia sounded good - I figured there would be no problem substituting one fish for the other. There wasn't and indeed, the
fish was quite good, though not terribly attractive (the blue dots in the photo are from oxidized garlic).

Indonesian Broiled Cod
Ingredients
For the spice paste
- 1 large shallot, peeled and quartered
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
- 1" ginger root, peeled and quartered
- 1 tsp sambal oelek or to taste
For the fish
- 1 tsp tamarind concentrate
- 1 lb cod fillets or another white fish
- 1/4 cup kecap manis*
- juice from 1 lime
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
Using a mini-chopper, food processor or blender, process all the ingredients for the spice paste together and set aside.
Mix the tamarind concentrate with a bit of water until fully dissolved, set aside.
Place the cod fillets in a large bowl and add the spice paste, tamarind water, kecap manis, lime juice, coriander and salt. Mix well and let marinate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place cod on the baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
