Baked Cod in Romesco Sauce with Green Beans

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets
• 200 g roasted red peppers in a jar
• 200 g tinned chopped tomatoes
• 50 g ground almonds
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 clove garlic cloves
• 300 g fine green beans
• 3 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C). Blend the roasted peppers, chopped tomatoes, ground almonds, smoked paprika, garlic, and 2 tbsp olive oil until smooth to make the romesco sauce.

2. 2

   Season the romesco with salt and pepper. Pour into a baking dish large enough to hold the cod in a single layer.

3. 3

   Place the cod fillets on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season.

4. 4

   Bake for 18–20 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain. Serve the cod and romesco alongside the beans.
