Cod, Lindsey's way

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, April 16, 2009—

LOCAL COD. Yes, we were in Berkeley a couple of days ago; yes, we dropped by Monterey Fish for, what else, fish. It's so nice to know you're buying something that's absolutely correct in every respect. Alas, as things worked out, we couldn't eat the fish the same day. Yesterday, a day after buying it, Lindsey baked the cod, resting it on a base of green Thai curry mixed into olive oil, Kaffir lime leaves and slices of lime on top of the base, then the cod; and served it with chopped shallots and cilantro. (If you think I made a guacamole to have before dinner, you're right.) With the fish, wonderful diced potatoes, almost lapsed into mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
