One of the most versatile white fish recipes you could find.
It's very quick to cook - just five minutes in a frying pan on the stove top, on a grill or under the broiler (grill).
Super simple to make - have your salad ready before you start to cook the fish. If you like, you can have some boiled buttered new potatoes - try some herb butter dotted on for a change.
Also the salad would be good to go with a roast chicken or joint of meat - maybe shouldn't mention that here :-) but I eat
When you're making the croutons, set a timer - 10 minutes goes very quickly and you don't want a charcoal offering. This is a really simple way of making garlic croutons which you can make in quantity and store in a jar for topping off salads and soups.
Cod with Summer Salad
4 slices white bread cut into chunks
4 tbspn olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes
1 small cucumber
1 pepper
1 red onion
2 tbspns white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves (crushed) or garlic salt to taste
4 cod or other fish fillets as Cook's Notes below
Heat the oven to 200C Gas Mark 6.
Put 1 tbspn oil in a bowl and add one of the garlic cloves or some garlic powder/salt.
Tip in the bread cubes and mix thoroughly to coat.
Put the bread on a baking tray and cook for about 10 minutes - the croutons should be crisp and golden by then.
Put 2 tbspns of olive oil, the wine vinegar and garlic in a screw top jar and shake to mix.
Chop up the salad ingredients and put in a bowl, then pour the dressing over.
Heat up a frying pan, brush with oil and when it's hot, add the cod fillets.
Cook for about 4 minutes, then turn and cook another minute or so until the fish is firm to the touch.
Serve with the salad topped with croutons and the fish.
