Pan-Fried Cod With Roasted Carrots
- 2 cod fillets, weighing 120-130g each
- 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 15-16 baby carrots
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon ginger and garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Salt to taste
- 1 handful Fresh Coriander Leaves
- CARROTS
- Rinse the carrots, scrub them clean and pat them dry.
- Now cut the carrot greens to 1 inch above the top and then slice the carrots in half. If the carrots are tiny, leave them as they are.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and arrange the rack in the middle.
- Next, line a roasting pan with aluminium foil, throw in the carrots, drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil, sprinkle some sea salt and crushed black pepper, and toss it all to make sure the carrots are evenly coated.
- Now roast for about 25-30 minutes until the carrots are caramelised around the edges.
- FISH -
- First, drizzle the fish with 1 tbsp of lime juice and 1/2 tsp of salt, and keep aside for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ginger and garlic paste, Kashmiri red chilli powder, cornflour, salt, brown sugar, 1/2 tbsp lime juice and the olive oil(2 tbsp). This is the marinade.
- While the marinade is sitting, wash the fish and pat it dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- Now mix the marinade with the fish and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour some olive oil(2 tbsp) and place the marinaded fish in the pan; pan-fry over medium heat, 3-4 minutes each side, or based on your gut feeling.
- Remove the fish from the pan and place it over the roasted carrots.
- SERVE -
- When you are done with the plating, sprinkle some sea salt and black pepper, and drizzle some more lime juice over it. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and I mean a good handful of coriander leaves.
