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:
- 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).
- Add a little extra salt and pepper to the visible side of the cod, reduce the heat a little and cook slowly.
- After about 3 or 4 minutes, add the garlic slices and then turn the cod so they cover the garlic to prevent burning.
- 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.
- After a further 3 or 4 minutes, remove the cod from the heat and serve immediately.
- All in all, a meal for two people for less than £2 a head!
