Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 2 slices of bread
- ½ cup almond flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- a bunch of asparagus
- ½ cup wholemeal couscous
- 25 g butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Add the bread slices to a food processor and blitz until you get breadcrumbs.
- Add the almond flakes, salt, pepper and paprika and blitz again for a few seconds - we don't want a fine texture, but a coarse one.
- Melt the butter, and brush each cod fillet with it, then top each fillet with the almond mixture.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through and golden.
- At the same time, arrange the asparagus on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some salt, and bake for the same amount of time as the fish.
- Add the couscous to a bowl, cover with boiling water, place a lid on, and leave to hydrate for 5 minutes.
- Serve everything hot.
