Serves: 2
1-2 tsp Bart Creole Seasoning
260g pack Icelandic cod loin, cut into 2 pieces of equal size
½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
250g pack wholegrain or brown basmati microwaveable rice
150g Tenderstem broccoli tips
15g butter
1 lime, finely grated zest and juice
1. Tip the Creole spices onto a plate. Using a pastry brush, brush the cod with the oil, then sprinkle with the spice mixture. Ensure that all sides are totally covered in spices. Set aside for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Place the cod on a foil-lined baking tray and roast in the oven for 12-14 minutes, until the fish flakes easily and is opaque throughout.
3. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions and steam or boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, until just tender. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the lime zest and juice and swirl to mix. Serve the cod with the rice and broccoli along with the lime butter poured over the top.
Cook’s tip
There is growing evidence to suggest that eating more fibre may reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. An easy way to add more fibre to your diet is to opt for wholegrain varieties when choosing starchy carbohydrates such as rice.
