Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, an ovenproof dish & 2 small bowls

Bake the sweet potato rounds

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1cm rounds, place on the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft

Sizzle the cod

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod and cook for 17 mins, turning halfway, until cooked through.
  • Toss in the ancho and orange juice and cook for a further 2 mins. Season with salt and pepper

Make the orange & avocado salsa

  • Peel the remaining orange, then dice into 1cm chunks. Dice the avocado into 1cm chunks. Finely chop the coriander. Halve the lime
  • Add the diced orange, avocado and coriander to a small bowl and mix with the juice from half the lime

Mix the seed drizzle

  • Roughly chop the peanuts
  • Add the peanuts, chilli paste, sesame seeds, garlic paste and oregano to the other small bowl. Season with salt and pepper

Last bits & plate up

  • Thinly slice the radishes
  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Serve the sweet potato rounds on plates, topped with the cod flaked into smaller pieces
  • Top with the orange & avocado salsa, radish and seed drizzle. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
