Alaska Cod Chorizo

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat a char-grill pan or the grill. Use 1 or 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to brush over the asparagus spears. Char-grill or grill them for about 5 or 6 minutes, turning often, until cooked.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and add the fillets of black cod, cooking them over a medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the slices of chorizo and cook for 3 or 4 more minutes. Check that the fish is cooked – the flesh should be opaque and flake easily when tested with a fork. If necessary, cook for a little longer.

Lightly cook the vine tomato bunches, either in the char-grill pan or under the grill. They will only need a couple of minutes.

Serve the black cod with the asparagus, chorizo and tomatoes, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper.

Chef's Tip: Remember that thick fillets of black cod will take a little longer to cook.
