Über-simple cod dinner

We were very tired this evening after an exhausting week so fancied something quick and tasty without fuss to relax with - and this was the result. I didn’t even make a sauce but we did share the copious pan juices over our dishes after I’d taken the photo. With more time, energy and inclination I’d have knocked up a sauce but tonight this simple dinner hit the spot. Our fish was bought fresh this morning.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

Cooking time :

30 minutes including prep

large cod fillet, sliced in half

large carrot, peeled and sliced

1 handful

frozen peas

large knob butter

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Use kitchen roll to absorb any excess water from the cod. Then sprinkle with sea salt and set aside until Step 4.

* Step 2

Put the potatoes on to boil in salted water for 15 minutes, adding the carrot on top (I use a set of steamer pans) once the potatoes have come to the boil. Just before that stage is reached, heat the butter in a frying pan.

* Step 3

Add the frozen peas to the carrots.

* Step 4

Place the pieces of cod in the hot butter, skinside down and cook on a hot heat for 3 minutes. After two minutes, baste with the melted butter.

* Step 5

Carefully turn the fish so that it’s flesh side down and baste with the butter. Cook for two minutes, then remove onto a lightly warmed plate to rest for a few moments.
