How to prepare

  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pat the cod dry with kitchen paper, season with salt and pepper and then fry face down for about 4 minutes until golden.
  • Turn the fish carefully, taking care not to break it, then add the garlic, Honeytomatoes, olives and capers. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the tomatoes start to burst and the fish is just cooked through. Add the butter, lemon juice and chopped parsley. Taste and season with extra salt and/or pepper if needed, and serve.
  • This dish can be enjoyed on its own or served with pasta, rice or a simple salad.
