Sorted: a recipe for student survival

When you're cooking to impress you don't want anything too heavy, and certainly not time-consuming. You want to be keeping your guest company not panicking in the kitchen. So this fish recipe ticks both boxes. Prepare it before that special sombody arrives and enjoy it later on without the fuss.

• ripe avocado
• half a red onion
• 3 fresh tomatoes
• clove of garlic
• sprig of fresh coriander (optional)
• knob of parmesan
• two fillets of cod
• crisp salad leaves and dressing to serve

 

halve the avocado, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh. Cut it up and put it into a bowl.

peel and finely dice the onion, adding to the avocado with the crushed or grated garlic.

quarter the tomatoes and remove the pulp. Dice the remaining flesh into small pieces.

chop up the coriander and add to the avocado with the diced tomatoes, then season and mix.

remove any bones from the fish and lay on an oven-proof tray.

pile the avocado salsa onto each fillet of fish and top with grated parmesan. At this stage you can cover the tray and leave it in the fridge for an hour or so until you are ready to eat

bake the fish in a hot oven for about 10-12 minutes before serving immediately with a light crisp salad.
