This first recipe is one I came across in one of my old food magazines. True to form I adjusted it slightly, mainly because we didn’t have quite all the ingredients …. But anyhow it came out fresh, fragrant and loaded with all important nutrients!

Season the cod with salt and paper and the 1/2 the lime juice and place on a roasting tin. Cook in the oven at 180oc for 10-15 min or until the flesh has turned white and its cooked throughout.

Next add the lentils, coconut milk kaffir leaf and remaining lime juice to the pan and cook for 5mins.

Lastly add the spinach and coriander to the pan and cook until just wilted season with salt and pepper.
