Ingredients

  • 2 cod fillets
  • 2 cups new potatoes (300g) cut into halves or quarters around 1 inch big
  • ¼ cups chorizo (30g) chopped
  • Calories controlled cooking spray
  • Salt & pepper
  • Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C Fan / 400°F
  • Unless you are using baby new potatoes it is best to chop the them into halves or quarters so that they are approx 1 inch big.
  • Lay out two pieces of heavy duty kitchen foil (about 12 inch square) and divide the potatoes between the two. Spray with a little calorie controlled cooking spray and fold the foil up and over the potatoes making sure to seal the edges tightly so that no steam can escape.
  • Place on a tray in the oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Whilst the potatoes are cooking, chop the chorizo into small pieces and season each side of the cod fillets with a little ground salt and pepper.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and very carefully prize open the foil parcels being careful not to burn yourself on any of the escaping steam. Place a seasoned cod fillet & half of the chorizo pieces into each of the parcels. Sprinkle with a little chopped parsley (optional)
  • Reseal the parcels tightly so that no steam can escape and place back in the oven for a further 10 - 12 minutes until the fish is opaque and is easily flaked with a fork *.
  • Serve with green beans, asparagus, garden peas or another veg of your choice.

Notes

* Cooking time will be dependent on the size of your cod fillet. I have found that the small/medium fillets that you buy from the freezer section of the supermarket tend to cook within 10 - 12 mins. Big fillets will take longer, The fish is cooked when it has become opaque and is easy to flake with a fork.
