Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the sweet potato batons for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain, then return to the pan with the lid on to keep warm.
- Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then gently fry the onion for 5 minutes.
- Put the spinach in a colander in the sink and pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt it, then leave to drain.
- Add the mustard, crème fraîche, lemon zest and lemon juice to the onion. Bubble for 2 minutes, then stir in the wilted spinach. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Leave on the stove with the heat turned to its lowest setting while you prepare the fish.
- Heat a large frying pan with a little oil over a high heat. Dip the cod in the seasoned flour until well coated, then add it to the pan, skin-side down. Fry for 5 minutes, then carefully turn and cook for about 3 minutes more until just opaque throughout. Serve with the sweet potato and creamed spinach, with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
