Pan Fried Cod with Thai Fish Sauce

Pan Fried Cod is very quick and easy to do as an ideal lunch snack or even a main meal. We picked a small pack up from Lidl for just £2.49 making this lunch very economical!

Ingredients:

Cod Fillets (one pack from Lidl was enough for 2 people)

2 to 3 tspThai Fish Sauce

1 Garlic clove, finely sliced

Salt & pepper

Salad:

Shredded iceberg lettuce

Red grapes, quartered

Cherry tomatoes, halved

Cucumber, sliced and halved

Spring onions, chopped

Seafood sticks, chopped

Method:

1. Spray a pan with fry light and heat until nice and hot. Add a little salt and pepper and place cod in pan (skin side down if not skinned fillets).
2. Add a little extra salt and pepper to the visible side of the cod, reduce the heat a little and cook slowly.
3. After about 3 or 4 minutes, add the garlic slices and then turn the cod so they cover the garlic to prevent burning.
4. Add two or three teaspoons of thai fish sauce over the cod and move around the pan so you de-glaze it at the same time.
5. After a further 3 or 4 minutes, remove the cod from the heat and serve immediately.
6. All in all, a meal for two people for less than £2 a head!
