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.
I served with a glass of dry white Sancerre wine: whichever drink you fancy, alcoholic or not, is fine but please nothing too sweet. Water’s pretty good!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Use kitchen roll to absorb any excess water from the cod. Then sprinkle with sea salt and set aside until Step 4.
- 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.
- 3
Add the frozen peas to the carrots.
- 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.
- 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.
- 6
Drain the vegetables and serve onto your dinner plates (slightly pre-warmed is good but not too hot).
- 7
Pour the butter and cooking juices over the fish and enjoy.

I love pot pies but hate the fuss of the dough and think good pot pie "innards" don't even need it. Feel free to add any other seafood to this recipe or change it up all together and use chicken instead of seafood with all the veggies. Easy recipe to double and the leftovers are just as great!
