Roasted red pepper pesto topped cod
This tender cod with a crunchy exterior is so full of flavour, you won't need much to accompany it, so keep it light with just a leafy green salad
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
What you need:
- 4 thick cod portions
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp of Sacla' Roasted Red Pepper Pesto
- 75g of fresh white breadcrumbs
- Finely grated lime zest
- 3 tbsp of mixed chopped herbs (such as dill, chives and parsley)
