Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 small sweet potato
• 1 lime
• 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
• 1 bunch coriander cilantro
• 1 avocado
• 16 grams plain flour
• 1 pot sour cream
• 1½ teaspoons Cajun Spice
• 2 cod fillets
• 1 bag Rocket arugula

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Chop the sweet potato into 2 cm chunks (no need to peel!).
• Place on a baking tray.
• Drizzle with a splash of oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings into the sweet potato.
• Roast on the top shelf of the oven 20 – 25 minutes until soft and browned at the edges, turning half way through cooking.
• Remove any stalks from the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise, Place in a bowl.
• Season with salt. This will draw the juices out of the tomatoes and create a delicious base for the dressing.
• Grate in the zest of half the lime and add a good glug of olive oil.
• Roughly chop the coriander and add half to the tomatoes.
• Stir the tomatoes, cover and keep to one side.
• Slice the avocado in half lengthwise. Twist apart and remove the stone. Slip a spoon around the edge of the flesh of the avocado to pop it out of the skin.
• To make the Crema, chop half the avocado into small chunks and place in a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado to a smooth paste and add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Stir in the sour cream and mix until smooth.
• Chop the other half of the avocado into 2 cm chunks and toss it into the tomatoes.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour with the Cajun blackening spice and a good pinch of salt.
• Add the fish to the bowl and coat in the flour.
• Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the cod to the pan skin side down and cook for 4 minutes.
• Turn the cod over and cook for 5 minutes, until golden. The fish is cooked when the centre is opaque.
• When the potatoes and fish are both cooked, you can get ready to plate everything up.
• Divide the rocket between two plates, covering the whole base of the plate.
• Nestle the sweet potato chunks in the rocket.
• Lay the cod in the centre.
• Spoon the tomatoes and juices around and over the fish.
• Drizzle with the avocado crema and sprinkle with the remaining coriander.
• Serve and enjoy!
