Thread: Seared Pollack With Pea & Watercress Purée

This recipe is not only low in calories, it's also low in fat. This is an English recipe so if you can't find some of the ingredient, such as pollack, you can use other kinds of fish, Cod, for example.. It will taste just as great.

Ingredients

100g cherry tomatoes , on the vine
200g frozen peas
50g watercress , woody stems removed
2 tbsp vegetable stock
2 spring onions , thinly sliced
2 x 125g skinless pollack fillets, or other sustainable white fish
1 tbsp cornflour
olive oil

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Roast the tomatoes for 10 minutes until slightly split. Cook the peas in boiling water, add the watercress for a second, then drain. Return to the pan and add the stock and spring onions. Season. Purée in a blender and warm through before serving.

2. Dust the fish with a little cornflour, bat off any excess and season well. Heat a non-stick pan with 2 tsp olive oil and sear the fish for 2-3 minutes on each side. Thicker pieces may take longer, so add another minute. Serve the fish with the purée and cherry tomatoes.

Pollack? I don't know what that is.. Cod maybe.. What about halibut? Can I use that? I'm just asking

This sounds delicious.. Okay, I've listed the recipes on my shopping list..

I think any fish will be fine. I even plan to use salmon as a substitute.. we don;t have cod, halibut or pollack here.
