Ingredients (serves 3)
- Cod (raw)450 g
- Potatoes (raw)700 g
- Milk 2.5%100 ml
- Butter10 g
- Garden peas (frozen)240 g
- Lemon40 g
Also: Dill, salt, pepper
Method
- Get ready: turn the oven on to 200 °C to heat up (about 10 min) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel the potatoes (700 g) and cut them into similar-sized pieces.
- Put the potatoes in a pan, cover with cold water and season lightly with salt. Bring to the boil over high heat, then cook over medium heat for 15–20 min, until a knife slides in easily.
- While the potatoes cook, pat the cod (450 g) dry with kitchen paper, season with salt, sprinkle with pepper and lay it on the tray.
- Bake the cod in the oven at 200 °C for 12–15 min, until it's no longer translucent and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish bakes, warm the milk (100 ml) in a small pan over low heat for 1–2 min, so it's warm but doesn't boil.
- Drain the potatoes, add the butter (10 g) and warm milk, and mash until smooth.
- Tip the peas (240 g) into boiling water and cook for 3 min over medium heat, then drain.
- Serve the fish with the mash and peas, drizzle with the juice of the lemon (40 g) and sprinkle with dill.
Tips
- Thaw frozen cod in the fridge overnight and pat it dry well.
- Mash the potatoes with warm milk – cold milk makes the mash gluey.
- Eat cooked fish within 2 days.
- Want it hotter? A teaspoon of horseradish in the mash, black pepper on the fish.
- Want it lighter? Mash without butter – warm milk is enough.
