Total time:
20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 550g pack frozen Waitrose Natural Prime Cod Fillets, defrosted
- ½ x 170g jar Waitrose Fresh Stir-In Basil Sauce or Red Pesto Sauce
- 8 rashers Waitrose Smoked Streaky Rindless Bacon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Season the fish with freshly ground black pepper and spread with the pesto, about 1-2 teaspoons per fillet.
- Stretch each rasher of bacon using the back of a knife. Wrap each piece of cod in 2 rashers, avoiding any overlapping.
- Place the cod on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil. Brush with the olive oil and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked and the bacon is crisp. If necessary, place briefly under a hot grill to crisp up the bacon.
Cook's tips
As with all fish, keep a close watch on the cod as it cooks: 5 minutes too long and the flesh will become dry.
Frozen cod is sold by weight so the number of pieces in a pack sometimes varies - if you have more than 4 pieces, simply pair 2 smaller pieces to make 1 large portion.
