Glazed Cod Salad

This Vietnamese Salad leans on lemongrass and chilli to do the heavy lifting. We glaze the Cod for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemongrass 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. Reduce the glaze until sticky, then turn to coat everything in a glossy lacquer.

Stir in the rice paper and the rest of the lemongrass and chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
