Good to know
White beans are the underrated secret weapon for a low-carb purée. They turn incredibly creamy and go perfectly with fish.
Swaps
Cod → coley (coley has a similar white texture and cooks just as quickly in the pan).
Cooking tips
Only fry white fish over a medium heat so it doesn't dry out. If it starts to show little white flecks of protein, it's overcooked.
Storage
Always eat fish dishes straight after cooking, as reheated fish quickly tastes dry.
