Our tested Crispy Cod Bowl: sun-ripened, generous, and balanced with garlic and chilli. Serves 4 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the garlic and chilli elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the cod. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.
Stir in the lemon and the rest of the garlic and chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
