Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and dice

Add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil to a bowl with your ground smoked paprika, ground coriander and a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Step 1
2.

Add the chopped potatoes and diced pepper to the bowl and give everything a good mix up

Transfer the spiced potatoes & pepper to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) and reserve the bowl along with any excess marinade

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25 min or until the potatoes are crispy and the pepper is slightly charred

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) half your garlic (you'll use the rest later!)

Chop your tomato[es] finely

Zest half your lime[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Step 3
4.

Add the chopped garlic and chopped tomato to the reserved bowl with your red wine vinegar

Add the lime zest and half the sliced spring onion (reserve the rest for a garnish!) and give everything a good mix up – this is your tomato salsa

Step 4
5.

Peel and finely slice (don't chop!) the remaining garlic

Cut the zested lime[s] into 2 wedges per person

Step 5
6.

Once the potatoes and pepper are almost ready, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of olive oil over a high heat

Pat your cod fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper

Once hot, add the sliced garlic, your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] butter and cook for 1 min or until fragrant

Step 6
7.

Once fragrant, add the cod fillet[s] to the pan with the juice of half the lime wedges

Cook for 4-5 min on each side or until cooked through – this is your chilli-lime cod

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Step 7
8.

Serve the charred pepper & roast potatoes with the tomato salsa to the side, and top with the chilli-lime cod

Drizzle over any pan sauce and garnish with a remaining lime wedge and remaining sliced spring onion

Enjoy!
