*Lemon Roasted Cod with Edamame Mash* Serves 4 This is lovely. Tender flakey and milk cod sitting on a bed of tasty basil flavoured edamame mash. Tomatoes and Cod are perfect partners. 4 small bunches of cherry tomatoes on the vine 2 TBS lemon olive oil 4 chunky cod fillets the zest of one lemon, plus the juice of one lemon 1- 480g pack of frozen edamame beans 1 fat clove of garlic, peeled and cut into chunks 1 bunch of basil, the leaves and stalks separated 200ml of hot vegetable or chicken stock Pre-heat the oven to 200*C/400*F. Lightly grease a baking tray. Place the tomatoes on the tray, rub with a bit of oil and then season lightly with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Roast for 5 minutes, or until the skins begin to split. Add the fish to the baking dish and top with the lemon zest. Season with some more salt and pepper and then drizzle with a bit more of the oil. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with the tines of a fork. While the fish is cooking, cook the beans in a pot of slightly salted boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes or so, until just barely tender. Drain well. Place into a food processor along with the basil stalks, lemon juice, the remaining lemon oil, the garlic and the stock. Pulse to mash into a thick coarse puree. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Divide the bean mash between 4 hot serving plates. Top each with a filet of fish and divide the tomatoes equally amongst the plates. Scatter the basil leaves, torn, over top and serve. |
