Steamed Chilli & Ginger Cod (paired with stuffed sweet potato)

This time you get two recipes in one, my challenge this week was to try and do a fish dish. I am not a massive fish eater but in the interest of trying new things and trying to be a little healthier. I always struggle with what to put with fish too - this recipe gives a slightly spicy kick from the sweet potato and a a milder flavour too the fish.

Ingredient's

Serves 2

Sweet potato

- 2 decent sized sweet potatoes

- Juice of 1 Lime

- 1/2 Red chilli (more if you prefer spicy)diced

- Bunch of coriander chopped

Ginger & Lime Cod

- 2 Fillets of Cod

- 1 Lime Sliced

- thumb sized piece of ginger cut into 4 slices

- 1 Green chilli sliced

Sweet Potatoes

I love sweet potatoes but sometimes they need a bit of livening up, this sweet potato recipe is great and goes really well with a number of different things - this time I have paired with cod, but also goes really well with pork or veggie sausages

Prick the sweet potatoes a few times and place on a baking tray at the centre of a preheated oven 200 degrees (mark 6) for around 35/40 mins or until the sweet potatoes are soft

Once soft, take out of the oven cut in half and hollow the sweet potatoes halves and place the hollowed shells back into the oven to crisp up a little, in a bowl mash the sweet potatoes and add half the red chilli (leaving the other half to one side for garnish)

the chopped coriander and the lime juice - taste and add more if you wish

Take the shells out of the oven and stuff the mashed sweet potato back into the shell and serve

Mean while while the sweet potatoes are baking in the oven prepare the fish.

We are steaming the fish in parchment parcels in order not to overpower the fish with too much flavour or dry them out

I also do not like to use too much oil on cod so am using the moisture I the limes to steam them through

On a piece of parchment paper put a slice of lime with a piece of ginger on top and a small sliver of green pepper on top of that place the cod on top of the lime stacks

2 per piece of cod

season and wrap the cod in a parcel and place in the oven for 20 mins.

Once cooked serve

Done !
