A fish recipe you can't help but love, this is a light and summery alternative to fish and chips.
Ingredients
- 500g new potatoes, thickly sliced
- 1 litre chicken/vegetable stock, hot
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 courgettes, thickly sliced
- Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus a squeeze of juice
- 100ml double cream
- Handful fresh flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 4 thick sustainable cod fillets
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- Lemon wedges, to serve
Method
- 1. Place the potatoes in a saucepan with the stock and simmer for 6-7 minutes until just tender. Drain, reserving the stock, and set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the courgettes and lemon zest in batches, until golden. Add the potatoes, pour in the cream and 100ml of the reserved stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
- 3. Heat the remaining oil in another frying pan over a medium-high heat, dust the cod with flour and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and just cooked. Serve immediately with the creamy potato and courgette mixture, and some lemon wedges.
