Roast cod smothered in basil olive citrus marinade. Zesty tasty simple filling plate of food. Great with a salad, or minted peas.

Ingredients

• 260g Cod loin x2
• 10 black olives
• 2 tsp green pesto
• 1/2 tbs olive oil

Pre heat the oven to 180°fan.
Put the garlic salt and coarsely ground black pepper in a pestle and mortar and pulverise it. The salt acts as an abraisive, making the garlic into a smooth paste.
Toss in the olives (pitted,otherwise the stones won't make this work) and continue to destroy.

Top the cod pieces with the mix. Rubbing a little underneath. Put the cod in a roasting pan, lay the vine tomatoes alongside, and place in the oven.

    I love this recipe and tried it once. I will definitely try this once again but I am interested in having more new type of food.

    This was my 1st official BSD recipe which I cooked last night. Very easy to do and quick to cook which ticks all sorts of boxes for me, hubby & I are foodies but I am not tied to my kitchen. It was very tasty & I was able to use ingredients I already had (fish in freezer). Will deffo cook again, possibly with hake as I seem to have a lot of that.

    Loved this- fast and delicious. Good on a bed of courgette spirals.

    This was amazing. A little salty but that may have been my fault!!!! The pesto mix would be great on anything- chicken, pork, prawns. Will probably make a batch of it up to liven up dull dinners.
    Thank you so much for this recipe suggestion.

    Lovely, just had this tonight. The crust is lovely and my partner didn’t realise it had olive and pesto in ( he isn’t keen on them usually) I halved the oil and used the other half to roast off the tomatoes with some courgettes, leeks and carrots.. Yum yum
