Is everything better with bacon?

So, trying to get back to this. For this week from the Food Revolution book we're making bacon wrapped cod and asparagus with a sauce. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, it was. Kind of. First off, I'll say this was a pretty easy recipe and everything is done really fast. Even with prep, it only took about 20-25 minutes. So, here are the results (and I apologize in advance...even for my phone camera this is a terrible picture):

Okay, the good. Even though you cook this at a high heat, with the fish wrapped in the bacon the fish is still nice and tender and not at all overcooked. I used basil instead of Rosemary for the fish and it added a nice flavor.

The iffy. The sauce on the asparagus was very tasty, but very strong. I would totally make this again, but I would go more sparingly on the sauce. As it is, it sort of overwhelms the asparagus (which I actually like the taste of).

The not so good. I even cooked it a little longer than it said and my bacon was still not crispy. Definitely still fatty and kind of gummy. Now, I guess there's a few things I could do differently. One, is that the recipe says to thin out the bacon by running your knife over it, and I didn't do that (oops, my bad). Maybe that would've helped. Another option is to use 3 slices of bacon instead of the 4 it says to use. Lastly, maybe a minute or two under the broiler at the end might have crisped it up. And then, of course, I could have just looked for a thinner cut bacon. Those are my ideas anyways.

In closing, it's a tasty, and easy to cook dish, that I would probably try again. There's just a few things I would do differently.

Claudia? Your turn.
