Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 x 120g/4½oz pieces cod
- little plain flour, for dusting
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
- 3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
- lemon wedges, to serve
- 1 large head celeriac, peeled and cubed (about 500g/1lb 2oz)
- 2 tbsp butter
- big handful parsley, finely chopped
Method
To make the mash, boil the celeriac in salted water for 10 mins until soft. Drain, put back in the pan and steam-dry for a few mins. Mash with the butter and seasoning, then stir in most of the parsley. Keep warm while you cook the fish.
Heat half the oil in a frying pan. Dust the fish in flour, season on both sides, and fry for about 4 mins on each side. Remove to a plate. Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the garlic and chilli for 2 mins until golden. Add the vinegar, sugar and a little salt, then bubble for 1-2 mins. Return the fish to the pan to warm through.
Serve the fish on the mash, with the pan sauce poured over. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve with lemon.
