Method

  1. 1

    Put the new potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 12–15 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, pat the cod dry and dust lightly with the flour, seasoning with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the cod for 3–4 minutes on the first side until golden, then flip and cook for 2–3 minutes more until just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Crush lightly with a fork, then stir through the butter, crushed garlic and chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Squeeze lemon juice over the cod and serve on top of the crushed potatoes.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley, 110 g cod fillet and ½ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
