Prep time: 15Total time: 
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cod loin fillets
- juice of 1 and zest of ½ lemon
- 30g butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 70g brown shrimp
- 70g samphire
- 250g fresh tagliatelle
- handful of fresh dill, roughly chopped
Step by step
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and fry the cod loins for 1-2 minutes on one side, until just starting to turn golden. Transfer to a small roasting tin, seared-side up and squeeze over half the lemon juice. Season well and roast for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the loins.
-
While the fish is roasting, add the remaining oil and the butter to the frying pan and heat until the butter starts to foam. Fry the garlic for 1 minute, then add the shrimp and samphire and cook for a few minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain, reserving some of the pasta water.
-
Add the drained pasta to the frying pan with a plash of the pasta water and continue to cook until the sauce has a nice coating consistency. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice, toss through the fresh dill and season well.
-
Divide the pasta between two bowls, top with the cod and serve scattered with the lemon zest.
