Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Spread the potatoes in a baking tray, then cook for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, lay the cod loins on a clean work surface, season and spread over the chilli pesto. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the parsley, then scatter over the cod.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, then place the cod fillets on top. Drizzle with the oil, return the tray to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the fish is just flaking but still tender and the potatoes are crispy.
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes. Serve with the lemon wedges.
