This fish dish is a tasty, light meal. Cod is a mild tasting fish, perfect for all the family.

Ingredients

1 medium baking potato (240g / 8½oz.)
1 large fresh cod fillet (175g / 6oz.)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of olive oil
5 olives, sliced
1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 pinch of dried thyme
1 pinch of paprika
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
85g / 3oz. of broccoli, in florets
70g / 2½oz. of green beans

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C / Fan 170°C / Gas Mark 5.
Wash the potato and then prick all over with a fork. Bake in a pre-heated oven for up to 1½ hours or until the inside is tender. To microwave the baked potato, prick all over with a fork and place in the microwave for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through.*
Arrange the cod fillet in a baking dish. Drizzle with the lemon juice, oil and olives and sprinkle with the garlic, thyme and paprika.
Bake until the flesh is completely opaque but still juicy, about 15-20 minutes. Serve with the juices spooned over the top.
In the meantime, place the carrots along with broccoli and green beans into a steamer for 15 minutes or until soft.
Serve the baked cod with steamed carrots, green beans, broccoli and baked potato.
