Pan-Fried Cod with Swiss Chard, Salsa Verde & Spanish Style Grains

This healthy midweek masterpiece pairs perfectly cooked cod with vibrant salsa verde, garlicky Swiss chard and our Spanish Style Grains. Fresh, flavour-packed and ready in just 25 minutes, it's a simple yet impressive dinner that brings together wholesome ingredients and bold Mediterranean-inspired flavours.

Season the cod fillets generously with salt and set aside while you prepare the salsa verde.
Add the coriander, garlic cloves, jalapeño, lime juice and a good drizzle of olive oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir through the diced shallot and season to taste.
Pat the cod dry with kitchen paper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and place the cod skin-side down. Cook until the skin is crisp and golden.
Meanwhile, heat a little olive oil in a second pan. Add the whole garlic clove and dried chilli and cook until fragrant. Add the Swiss chard and sauté until just wilted.
Flip the cod and cook on the other side for a few minutes. Add the butter and baste the fish until cooked through. Remove from the pan and leave to rest.
Add the Merchant Gourmet Spanish Style Grains and a splash of water to the Swiss chard. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Divide the grains and chard between two plates. Top with the cod fillets and spoon over the salsa verde.
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a wedge of lime, if desired.
