Mediterranean Style Fish


A BEAUTIFUL meal. My husband is amazing. He just cooked this for dinner. You will want more! Mediterranean style cod served with home made chunky chips.


Serves 2

Ingredients
2 cod fillets (7oz)
75g Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp chopped Parsley
2 slice brown bread, no crusts
4 sun dried tomatoes, in olive oil
1/2 tbsp olive oil (from sun dried tomatoes)
2 Lemon wedges

Chips
2 lrg waxy (high starch) potatoes
Salt & Pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Start with the chips as these will take the longest. Peel potatoes and chop into thick chip shaped chunks. These need to be par boiled. To do this pop them into a pot of boiling water. Leave them in until they are halfway cooked. Once drained, place them onto a baking tray, dribble olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop them in the oven now. They'll take roughly 1/2 hour. Move them a few times to make sure they cook evenly.

In a blender, crumb the bread fine. Chop the Parmesan into chunks and add to the blender. Blitz until chopped fine. Add sun dried tomatoes and olive oil to blender and blitz again.

You will be left with a wet crumb.

Place the cod fillets onto a baking tray and cover the top of each fillet with the breadcrumb mix. Divide evenly between the two. Sprinkle parsley on top.

Place the two lemon wedges between the fillets on the tray. The juice will move into the fish during cooking.

Into a pre-heated oven 200C for 15 - 20 mins. Cod is cooked when it's flaky.
