One-Pan Asparagus & Peas Cod

Servings 2
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cod fillets (~230g)
  • 200 g asparagus, stalks thinly sliced, tips left whole
  • 150 g frozen peas, defrosted and rinsed under hot water
  • 1 leek, sliced finely
  • 2 artichoke hearts (in oil), sliced
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 3 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • squeeze of lemon
  • mint leaves
  • oil, salt, pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp butter (to grease the pan)

Instructions
 

  • To a pan add a tsp of butter and the chopped leek. Cook until it soften. Remove from the pan and set aside for now.
  • Prepare the pea and mint mix: in a small bowl add peas, chopped mint, a drizzle of oil and salt. Mix and set aside.
  • In the same pan add the cod ( which I lightly seasoned with salt and pepper).
  • Cook with the lid on for 7-10 mins on a very low heat (add the vegetables at minute 5).
  • At minute 5 add the asparagus, capers, artichokes to the pan and cook along with the fish, lid on. Cook for the remaining 2 to 5 minutes (the fish is cooked when the internal temperature of the thicker part reaches 63C).
  • Just add the end add the pea and mint mix and the toasted pinenuts. * A squeeze of lemon is also a good touch.

Notes

*I recommend adding the peas and pine nuts just at the very end if you like the colour of your peas to stay bright green, I think peas taste better this way and also look more appetising.
