With fish I never like to do a lot to mask it's simple flavour. My favourite is Haddock and I simply rub it with a little olive oil, sea salt and black pepper, then pan fry in a hot, non-stick pan for a couple of minutes each side. Be very careful not to overcook as it will dry out in a flash leaving you with something that resembles weetabix without the milk! Better to slightly undercook as it will continue cooking in it's own heat on the (warm) plate. A wedge of lemon on the side and a few boiled new potatoes dressed in butter and Parsley is all the accompaniment you need.
Cod with Fennel, Dill and Tomato
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
4 (8-ounce) portions cod fish
2 wedges lemon
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 bulb fennel, quartered, core cut away, thinly sliced
1 small to medium yellow skinned onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 (15- ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
Black pepper
A few large sprigs, in tact, plus 2 tablespoons chopped dill
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Rinse fish and squeeze lemon juice over it. Season the fish with a little salt and reserve.
Heat a large oven proof pan over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, fennel and onion and season with salt. Saute fennel and onions 7 to 8 minutes then add white wine and reduce a minute, then add broth. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Set fish into pan and spoon juices over the cod.
Add a few sprigs dill to the broth and set the pan into the hot oven to cook.
Cook 12 minutes, until fish is opaque. To serve, arrange cod on plate, top with vegetables and chopped fresh dill.

Smoked haddock is nice just poached in milk for about five or six mins Add a bay leaf to the milk and some peppercorns. Take it out ,bung a poached egg on top and a knob of butter and whatever veg you like on the side . .
Cod is nice in the oven in foil parcels .Butter the foil put the cod fillet on ,brush with oil and season ,lay slices of lemon and some parsley on top and a couple of halved cherry toms make a little parcel and bake for about 15 mins .
Or boil some new potatoes put them on a baking try and crush them with a potato masher -just enough to break the skins.Glug a bit of olive oil over them and bake for 30 mins In the meantime bake cod fillets with loads of grated cheese over them for 20 mins .Cook some peas ..chuck them over the spuds and put the cod fillets on top .Scrummy .
