Soy-marinated cod with fennel, dill and apple

To start the dish, marinate 2 cod (or skrei) fillets in 50 ml soy sauce for 20 minutes. Remove the fish and pat dry.

Slice a fennel bulb very finely with a knife or mandoline and place in a bowl. Mix in a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and some chopped dill 

Toast a tbsp sesame seeds until golden. Cut a Granny Smith apple into thin batons and add to the fennel along with the sesame seeds

Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 5.

Place a large non-stick pan on a high heat with a small dash of oil. Evenly sear the cod, colouring for approximately 1 minute on each side. Place in the oven for 4 minutes, then remove but keen the hot pan.

Give the fennel salad another mix and place into the centre of each plate. Place the cod on top of the salad, garnish with coriander leaves and wasabi sesame seeds, serve immediately.
