Method
- Fry the bacon lardons in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until crisp, then set aside to cool slightly. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
- Put the bacon in a mini food processor and whizz until just broken up (or finely chop and put in a mixing bowl). Add the breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and pepper and the olive oil. Whizz again (or finely chop them and add to the bowl) to make small crumbs.
- Put the cod loins on a baking tray – skin-down if they have the skin on – and top with the crumb and a few slices of lemon. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden. Serve with roast baby potatoes and green beans.
