Ingredients
4 tbsp butter
8 oz cooked new potatoes cut into quarters
4 firm ripe plum tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 medium leek, trimmed, chopped and well rinsed
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 5 oz skinless and boneless cod fillets
About 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Stone ground wheaten bread, blitzed into fine crumbs
Fresh dill sprigs to garnish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Put 3 tbsp of the butter into a small roasting tin. Put in the oven for a few minutes to melt then toss in the new potatoes, tomatoes and leek. Give everything a good stir so it is all evenly coated, season to taste then bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the cod and spread the top of each fillet with a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate and place the cod on top, mustard side down, to coat the fish in an even layer, gently brushing off any excess.
- Heat a frying pan. Add the remaining tbsp butter to the pan then add the breadcrumb coated cod fillets, crust side down. Cook 2-3 minutes without disturbing them in the pan until the crumbs are lightly toasted.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven. Carefully place the cod fillets crust side up, on top of the vegetables and return to the oven. Cook for a further 8-12 minutes until the cod is cooked through and tender. Divide the vegetables between two plates and place a cod fillet on each. Garnish with the dill and serve immediately.
