After a beautiful weekend of sunshine (one of the few so far this year) I returned home after spending the day at Tatton Park in Cheshire.
It’s this beautiful park that includes gorgeous gardens to explore, places to enjoy a picnic and even farm animals to pet, although I didn’t get around to the animals this time.
By the time I arrived home I was pretty tired (driving can do that to me!) and just wanted something warm, quick and hearty for dinner.
So this recipe was born.
I’d already defrosted my remaining Cod Fillets that I got from MuscleFood, so I knew my dinner would consist of something fishy.
This recipe was easy to make and full of flavour. You can add additional veg to bulk it up further, but I found there was plenty leftover for another meal on another day.
Enjoy!
