Puttanesca baked cod
Cod and butterbeans make this dish high in protein, while the veg and pulses are a great source of fibre. Omit the anchovies to reduce the salt content if you like, and serve with crusty bread for mopping up the sauce

Ingredients
- 1 x 250g pack skinless and boneless cod fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus a little extra for drizzling
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, sliced
- ½ x 50g tin anchovy fillets, drained and chopped, optional
- a small pinch of chilli flakes
- 1 x 400g tin cherry tomatoes
- 1 x 215g tin butter beans, rinsed
- 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
- 40g pitted black olives, halved
- 3 rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5 and season the cod.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion, garlic and anchovies, if using, together for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the chilli flakes and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, butter beans, capers, olives, rosemary and a little seasoning then bring to a simmer. If your frying pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer the sauce to a small baking dish.
- Nestle the cod into the sauce, and bake for 12 minutes until the fish is opaque and flaky. Drizzle the fish with a little olive oil to serve.
