Crispy Olive and Pine Nut Crusted Cod with Roasted Red Onions and Cherry Tomatoes
Introduction from Rukmini Iyer
White fish stands up so well to strong flavours – and the textural contrast with the pine nut crust makes this a very pleasing dinner overall. By all means substitute the cod with pollack or your preferred sustainably caught white fish.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Arrange the cod fillets, cherry tomatoes and onion in a large roasting tin. Spread the tapenade evenly over the top of the cod fillets.
Lightly crush the pine nuts in a pestle and mortar, then mix them with the panko breadcrumbs, a pinch of sea salt and a tablespoon of olive oil. Pat this mixture down over the top of the tapenade.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the cherry tomatoes and onion, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pop the tin into the oven on a high shelf, and roast for 15 minutes, until the topping is crisp and the cod cooked through. Serve immediately.
Note: Use fresh white breadcrumbs instead of panko breadcrumbs if more easily available.
