Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C. Pat the cod fillets dry with kitchen towel and place into a baking dish in a single layer.
  2. Melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the lemon juice, zest, Fish Seasoning and garlic paste. Brush the fish with the half the butter and season well with salt and pepper. Flip the fish and brush again with the remaining butter and season again.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, make the mash. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the butterbeans to the pan along with the stock. Season well with the basil, salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to the boil, cover, lower the heat, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and sour cream. Blitz until very smooth using an immersion blender. Add a splash of water if the mash is too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with the cod and some steamed tender stem broccoli.
