Black cod with pea shoots, mint and Thai dressing

Not yet rated

Andy Waters' black cod with Thai dressing recipe is deceptively easy to follow, matching pan-fried black cod with a fragrant Thai dressing and punchy mint. Palm sugar is becoming more widely available, try tracking it down in a large supermarket or South-East Asian food store.

Method

1
Begin by preparing the salad. Place all of the ingredients (except the flowers) in a bowl and set aside
2
For the dressing, combine the lime juice, sugar and fish sauce in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until required
3
To cook the fish, place a large non-stick pan over a high heat. Once hot, pour in a small dash of vegetable oil and add each fillet, skin-side down
4
Press the fish down gently with a spatula to evenly brown the skin and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Flip the fish over and cook on the other side until the fish firms up and is just cooked through - this should take an additional 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the fillets
5
Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 1 minute. Meanwhile, dress the salad, mixing to coat all of the ingredients
6
Place the fillets onto plates and arrange the salad and edible flowers on top. Pour over any excess dressing and serve immediately
