Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the cabbage and kale, simmer for 3 minutes; drain and refresh under cold water. Melt the butter in a wok and stir-fry the veg for 3 minutes. Season and serve with the cod.

Top Tip for making Baked Cod and Bacon with Sage and Greens
Choose the best bacon – mass-produced pork has not led a happy life, especially if it's not British (our welfare standards are the highest in Europe). At least buy British welfare-assured outdoor-reared Freedom Food bacon such as Denhay. The priciest end is organic free-range, but all give good eating quality; you'll use less bacon as it has more flavour and doesn't shrink.
