    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • You can use any white fish steaks or loins, so see what's available locally. Steaks or loins will work best as they are thick enough to not dry out when baked.
    • I've used cherry tomatoes, green beans and black olives, but you could use a variety of vegetables including broccoli, asparagus, peppers or courgettes.
    • The black olives give this dish a nice saltiness, but you could equally use green olives or leave them out if you're not an olive lover.
    • I've also inluded baby or new potatoes in this tray baked cod recipe to make it a complete one pot meal. You don't need to serve it with anything else. If you do want something extra, I would recommend a green salad.
    • As the cod doesn't take long to cook, this dish won't re heat very well as the fish may dry out. If you do need to reheat it, sprinkle a little water over the cod, cover with foil and reheat in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes at 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil and simmer the new potatoes for 10 minutes until almost tender.
    2. Blanch the runner beans (or broccoli or asparagus) by placing them in the water with the potatoes for the last 3 minutes, then drain all together.
    3. Place the runner beans, potatoes and tomatoes & olives in a large roasting tin, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Give it all a gentle stir to the vegetables are nicely coated in the oil.
    4. Lay the fish steaks skin side down amongst the vegetables & add the lemon halves to the tray. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes until the fish steaks are cooked all the way through. The fish is cooked when it is white rather than translucent and it should flake easily.
    5. Scatter the basil leaves over the top and serve.

    Sustainability

    When shopping for fish, look for the Marine Stewardship Council logo. This label tells us that the fish has been sourced responsibly. The Marine Stewardship Council constantly monitors fish stocks in an effort to help preserve fish stocks for future generations. Cod is a very popular fish and some fish stocks are in danger. The good fish guide will have the latest information on the sustainability of different stocks. The blue logo will help you make the best choice when shopping for cod or any fish. #choosethebluefish. Black olives and lemons are also available as Fairtrade products.

    Storage

    Generally, fresh fish can be stored in your fridge for 2 days. It obviously does depend on when it was caught so ask your fishmonger or look for the use by date. White fish such as cod can be frozen for up to 6 months.
