Ingredients
Scale
Fritters
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 200g can sweetcorn
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil (divided)
Salsa
- 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1–2 tbsp chipotle chilli sauce
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
Fish
- 2 skinless cod fillets (about 150-170g each)
- ½ small bunch of coriander, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Beat the eggs and plain flour together in a bowl until smooth and free of lumps. Stir through the drained sweetcorn, finely sliced spring onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the fritters: Heat half of the rapeseed oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the batter to form fritters and fry each side for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- Make the chipotle tomato salsa: In another frying pan, heat the remaining oil and cook the sliced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Stir in the chipotle chilli sauce, lime juice, and lime zest, mixing thoroughly.
- Grill the cod: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Place the skinless cod fillets on a baking tray and cook under the grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Slice each sweetcorn fritter into four pieces and divide them between two plates. Sprinkle chopped coriander on top. Serve the grilled cod alongside the fritters and spoon the chipotle tomato salsa over or alongside the fish for a smoky, zesty finish.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to control the spiciness of the salsa.
- Ensure the frying pan is well heated before adding the fritter batter to achieve crisp edges.
- Use fresh lime for best flavor in the salsa.
- Cod can be substituted with another white fish such as haddock or pollock if preferred.
- For a gluten-free version, replace plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
