Method
- 1
Cook the frozen peas in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain and return to the pan.
- 2
Add half the butter and the fresh mint to the peas, then use a potato masher to crush to a rough mash. Season well and keep warm.
- 3
Pat the cod fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 4
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the cod skin-side down and press gently. Cook for 4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
- 5
Flip the cod, add the remaining butter and crushed garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, basting the fish with the butter.
- 6
Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and serve on top of the pea mash, spooning over the pan juices.
