HOW TO MAKE COD WITH COURGETTES, CRISPY PANCETTA AND DILL
Ingredients
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 4 courgettes, split lengthways
- 4 fillets fresh cod or other sustainable white fish
- 50g (2oz) butter
- juice 1 lemon, plus extra wedges, to serve
- 8 slices pancetta
- handful dill, chopped
Method
Heat the oven to 200 C, 180 C fan, 400 F, gas 6. Oil and season the courgettes and place on a baking sheet. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the courgettes, then season the fish fillets and place a slice of butter on each. Sit them on top of the courgettes, squeeze the lemon juice over and return to the oven to cook for 10 minutes, until the fish is cooked and flaking.
Meanwhile, place the pancetta on a plate and microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes until very crisp. Drain on kitchen paper, then break up into shards. When the fish is cooked, divide the courgettes between 4 plates, sit a fish fillet on top, then scatter with the pancetta and dill, and drizzle over some of the pan juices. Serve with lemon wedges.
