    Poach the cod loins in a pan of simmering water for 6-8 minutes until just cooked through, then flake into large pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix the mashed potato with the flaked cod, snipped chives and beaten egg, then season well.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, cook the frozen peas in boiling water for 4 minutes, then drain and roughly mash with a fork to make mushy peas.
