Non-oily fish are low in fat and calories, and taste delicious with this fresh, colourful salsa. A good way to start cutting down on red meat!

Ingredients

2 fillets cod (about 120g each)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
160g fine green beans, trimmed and steamed
200g new potatoes, steamed
10 cherry tomatoes, finely diced
1 red chilli, finely diced (deseeded for a milder taste)
1 clove garlic, finely diced
Handful coriander, finely chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180^oC/Fan 160^oC.
Season the cod fillets with black pepper and loosely wrap in foil. Place the foil parcel on a baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the salsa ingredients together in a bowl.
Place the baked cod on two serving plates and top with salsa. Serve with the steamed fine beans and new potatoes.

The salsa can also be cooked – simply spoon over the cod before sealing in the foil parcel and baking for 15 minutes. Leftover salsa will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
