Ingredients

  • 1 cod fillet (170 g)
  • 1 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 120 ml fresh pea shoots
  • 15 ml basil oil or herb oil
  • 5 ml crispy shallots or fried leeks
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 5 ml butter
  • Salt and white pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Season the cod fillet with salt and pepper, then gently poach in the butter with a splash of water for 4-5 minutes per side until flaky.
  3. In a separate skillet, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles with the basil oil and lemon juice for 1-2 minutes until just tender.
  4. Place the zucchini noodles in the center of the plate.
  5. Carefully place the poached cod on top of the noodles.
  6. Garnish with a handful of fresh pea shoots and a sprinkle of crispy shallots for texture.
