Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

Quarter, core and grate the apple (no need to peel).

3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the creme fraiche, wholegrain mustard (add less if you'd prefer), vegetable stock paste and sugar (see pantry for amount). Season with pepper and mix well. 

In another small bowl combine the breadcrumbs with the oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount). 

4

Pop the cod fillets into a small ovenproof dish. Pour the sauce over the fish, ensuring the fillets are completely coated. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the fillets. 

When the potatoes are halfway through roasting, move them to the middle shelf.

Bake fish on the top shelf until cooked through and golden on the top, 16-18 mins. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the centre.

5

Meanwhile, when the fish has 5 mins left of baking time, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the cabbage and apple, stir-fry, 2-3 mns.

Season with salt and pepper, add a splash of water, mix well and cover with a lid (or foil). 

Cook until just tender, 3-4 mins. Once cooked, remove from the heat. Stir in a knob of butter (if you have any) until melted and set aside to keep warm.

6

When everything's ready, share the creamy baked cod, potatoes and apple-cabbage between serving plates. 

Enjoy!
