Ingredients
- 2 heaped tbsp Za’atar
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 400g/14oz prime cod
- sea salt
- 24 Kalamata olives
- 6 preserved lemons
- 8 pickled chillies
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the zaâatar with the olive oil in a small bowl to create a paste. Smear this paste over the cod pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Season each piece of fish with a pinch of salt. Place in a non-reactive container and leave to marinade in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- For the relish, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Do not season the mixture with salt as it will already have a salty taste.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, then drizzle in a generous amount of olive oil.
- Fry the cod for about 8 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes on the other side. The cod should be golden-brown with a nice spice crusting.
- Serve the cod with a generous helping of the relish.
