YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food The Full Diet Braised cod with lettuce peas and creme fraiche recipe By Dr Saira Hameed - March 20, 2022 Eat your fill and still lose weight with this tasty, easy-cook braised cod recipe from the diet book of the year, The Full Diet by NHS weight-loss expert Dr Saira Hameed. Hannah Taylor-Eddington SERVES 2 TAKES 15 MINUTES 1 tbsp olive oil 20g butter 2 little gem lettuces, cut in half through the stalk 200g frozen peas 2 skinless cod fillets (around 150g each), fresh or frozen 3 tbsp full-fat crème fraîche 1 tbsp chopped parsley Juice of 1⁄2 lemon Salt and black pepper Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over a gentle heat and then place in the four halves of lettuce, cut side-down. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the frozen peas. Cook the lettuce and peas for another 4 minutes and then make space for the two cod fillets. If you are using frozen fillets, check the packet instructions as you may need to increase the cooking time slightly. Cook for just a minute before adding the crème fraîche. Gently swirl the pan to help the crème fraîche melt into the butter and emulsify into a sauce. After 3 minutes, flip the fish and the lettuce halves and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, until the fish is just cooked. It should be opaque all the way through and wanting to just flake apart. Once done, add the parsley, lemon juice and seasoning. Swirl to combine and then serve immediately.
