Baked cod with chickpeas

This has become my go to recipe for a really quick and easy baked fish dish. I found it online but have copied the recipe here for convenience. I’ve since made this with sea bass but any white fish would go well. I found a pack of orange and red tomatoes which made it look even more colourful. This makes a low fat, healthy dinner – I love its sheer simplicity.

Serves 2.

Ingredients

  • 2 fillets of cod
  • 1 tin of chickpeas, drained
  • Pack of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 red chilli, chopped
  • Teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Tablespoon of chopped parsley
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190C fan.
  2. Put the chickpeas, tomatoes, garlic, chilli, paprika in an oven proof dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, mix well and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Place the cod on top, season with salt and pepper and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cod is cooked. Scatter with parsley and serve.
