Notes
Can I make it ahead?Fresh fish its always best eaten freshly cooked so it's lovely and juicy. I wouldn't recommend making this recipe ahead.However, you can make the dry mix ahead. You could also make the paste up to a day ahead (it will start to lose it's lovely green colour if made too far ahead).Ingredient swapsTry swapping the cod for haddock or salmon. You could also add some fresh breadcrumbs to the dry sprinkle mix for a crispy topping.How to scale up and scale down this recipeThis recipe can be doubled up for a crowd or halved for two people, sticking to the same ingredient ratios.Nutritional information is approximate, per portion (this recipe serves 4).
