Ingredients

  • 6 6 x 180g blue eye cod fillets, skin on

  • Extra virgin olive oil, for rubbing skin and pan-frying

  • Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

  • Roasted tomato & olive salsa
  • 750 g 750 mixed small tomatoes, halved

  • 2 Tbsp 2 extra virgin olive oil

  • 150 g 150 mixed marinated olives, drained and halved

  • ¼ cup ¼ baby capers, rinsed and drained

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced.
  • To make roasted tomato and olive salsa, place tomatoes on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast for 12-15 minutes until very tender. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool. Place tomatoes into a shallow bowl and drizzle with oil. Toss through olives and capers. Season. Set aside.
  • Place fish, skin-side up, on a board. Pat skin dry using paper towel.  Rub skin using 1 teaspoon oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt and rub into skin.
  • Drizzle a large heavy-based frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Place fish, skin-side down, into the pan and pressing fish down with a spatula (see Tip, to ensure the skin is against the hot frying pan) and cook for 3-4 minutes or until skin is crisp. Turn fish and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until almost cooked through.
  • Serve fish with roasted tomato and olive salsa.

Market tip...

To get crispy skin, instead of using a spatula to press down the fish, weight it down by placing a heavy frying pan on top of fish to keep the skin in contact with the pan.
