Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen cod fillets

For the almond crust

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.
  • Add the frozen cod fillets to an ovenproof dish and cover with aluminium foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • If using almond slivers, add to a blender and blend into a ground almond meal.
  • While the cod is baking, combine the ingredients for the almond crust and stir well.
  • Remove the cod from the oven and pat on the almond crust. Return to the oven (not covered with foil) and bake for a further 15 minutes or until the cod is cooked through. It should be white and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve with sides of your choice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of olive oil if required. You want the crust to be a thick, slightly sticky texture so it will stay on the fish and hold together. Add a touch more if it seems too dry.
  • Check the fish is white throughout and can be easily flaked with a fork. Adjust cook time accordingly, depending upon the size of the cod fillets.
