HOW TO MAKE ABEL & COLE’S ONE PAN ROAST COD WITH ORGANIC ASPARAGUS

One pan roast cod with organic asparagus

500g potatoes
6 shallots
2 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
200g asparagus
2 tsp horseradish mustard
1 lemon
2 cod fillets
1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
50g sweet salad mix
A handful of flat leaf parsley, leaves only

Heat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4. Scrub the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces, around two centimetres across. Pop them in a large ovenproof dish. Peel and halve the shallots, then add them to the potatoes. Drizzle the vegetables with one tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to mix. Slide into the oven and roast for 15 minutes.

When the veg have roasted for 25 minutes in total, take the dish out of the oven. Make two spaces in the veg and nestle in the cod fillets, skin side down. Brush the lemony mustard mix all over each cod fillet. Return the dish to the oven for 10 minutes, till the cod is opaque and flakes easily when pressed with the fork. The veg will be tender and browned.

While the cod and veg roast, whisk one tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar with one tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper to make a dressing. Toss the salad leaves with the balsamic dressing. Pick the parsley leaves off their stems and roughly chop the leaves.

Serve the cod and veg with the dressed salad leaves on the side, garnished with the parsley leaves. Serve the remaining lemon half, cut into wedges, on the side for squeezing, and the leftover mustard for an extra fiery kick.
