Brine the cod

First brine the cod to make it moister and more flavoursome. This also firms up the fish and makes it cook quicker.

Whisk the above together until the salt & sugar has dissolved, then add the cod for 15 minutes. Remove the cod and place onto a rack to drain before placing into the fridge for 20 minutes to air dry.

     +    
The marinade

Place all the ingredients into a bowl, mix well and then place your fish in the bowl. Place onto a tray with parchment paper, season, then into the oven to bake at 140c for approx. 10-12 minutes.

Finish with a little lemon juice.

     +    
Mixed olive mashed potato

Place the baby potatoes into a pan with the water and 40g salt, then place onto the heat. Bring to a simmer, cooking for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain the water and then crush with a masher, adding the olive oil as you mash. Add the remaining salt, olives & mix together with the basil.

     +    
Roasted courgette & tomato sauce

Heat a medium sized sauté pan, add the olive oil, and when hot add the courgette, salt & pepper, cooking for 2-3 minutes on a high heat to get a little colour. Add the tomato water and reduce all the way down.
