Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g cooking chorizo , skin removed, cut into chunks
50g slightly stale breadcrumb
25g blanched almond , toasted and roughly chopped
zest ½ lemon
1 ½ tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
6 boneless, skinless sustainable cod fillets (about 175g each)
6 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise
½ garlic clove , crushed
2 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat until it releases its oil and becomes crisp in places. Meanwhile, make the aïoli: stir together the ingredients with some seasoning, then chill.
  • Put the chorizo and its oil in a food processor and pulse until broken into small chunks. Add the breadcrumbs, almonds, lemon zest, seasoning and half the olive oil, then blitz to a crumb.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cod fillets on a lightly greased baking tray, then brush with the remaining oil. Heap the crumbs onto the fish and pat down so that the fillets are well covered. Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 mins.
  • When you're ready to cook, pop the fish in the oven for 10-15 mins, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the flesh has turned opaque and the chorizo crumb is golden.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh cod, flavorful chorizo, and crispy homemade breadcrumbs will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Cod is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it's cooked for too long. Cook it until it's just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the chorizo is cooked through before adding it to the breadcrumb mixture. This will help to prevent the chorizo from becoming greasy and will also help to keep the breadcrumbs crispy.
  • Use a large skillet or baking dish to cook the fish. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly and that the chorizo and breadcrumbs don't burn.
  • Serve the cod with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This cod with chorizo and breadcrumbs is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chorizo and breadcrumbs. The fish is moist and flaky, the chorizo is flavorful and spicy, and the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden brown. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
