Cod with a Herb Crust
Fast food at it’s best, serve with some simple steamed vegetables for a healthy meal. We are recommended to eat 2 portions of fish a week. For a children’s version replace the herbs for grated cheese - mine love it.
Preparation time: 5- 10 minutes Quantity: Serves 1 Cooking time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
1 piece / portion cod, skin on - approx. 6 - 8 oz / 150g - 200g
50g / 2 oz breadcrumbs
2 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs - see below
1 spring onion - finely chopped
1 egg yolk - small or 1/2 large
seasoning
Use soft herbs mixed or use just one, like - flat parsley, curly parsley, coriander, chives, tarragon or dill. (mint would be too over powering)
Method
- Place the piece of cod on a baking sheet
- Meanwhile mix all the ingredients together with a good shake of seasoning
- Press the crust mix firmly on top of the fish
- Bake for 12 minutes in a preheated oven gas 6 / 200*c / 400*f
Tip -
Fish should be cooked - just done so the flakes just break of - cook for a further 5 minutes if you like yours overcooked
