Recipe for Cod with Herb and Cheese Crust

Wash the potatoes and, without peeling them, cut them into pieces. Mix them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and place on a tray in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes of cooking.

In the meantime, remove the ends of the asparagus, cut the tips, and trim the stalks into pieces. Cook them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water along with the beans and peas. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Prepare the fish: blend the bread with the parsley, cheese, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Brush the top of the fish fillets with mustard and add the herbed breadcrumbs, pressing down to make them stick. Place the fillets on the tray with the potatoes after 30 minutes of cooking, add the small vegetables, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

For the sauce, finely blend the cheese with the herbs, mustard, capers, the juice and grated zest of the lemon, and 6 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.

Spread a spoonful of sauce on the bottom of the plates, add the vegetables and the pieces of fish, serve with the remaining sauce.

To finish Tip: you can replace the cod with salmon fillets.
