Ingredients

For the cod

  • 4 x 150 g cod or any other white fish
  • 300 ml fish or chicken stock
  • 1 large ruby pink grapefruit
  • 400 g green beans
  • 3 tbsp cashew nuts
  • large handful fresh coriander, chopped
  • 3 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal
  • salt and pepper

For the lime dressing

  • 30 ml fish sauce
  • 30 ml pure maple syrup
  • ½ tbsp maple sugar
  • small red chilli, finely chopped

Method

Cod

  1. Slice both ends off the grapefruit. Stand on one end and cut off peel and pith following the curve. Segment grapefruit by slicing between membranes.
  2. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 1–2 minutes until tender. Refresh in iced water.
  3. In a frying pan, cook cashews, stirring for 2–3 minutes until lightly roasted. Roughly chop and set aside.
  4. Season fish, and gently poach in the stock for 8–10 minutes.
  5. Toss grapefruit segments, green beans, coriander, and spring onions with the lime dressing.
  6. Arrange the tossed salad on a serving plate, place poached fish on top, and sprinkle with roasted cashews.

Lime dressing

  1. Stir together fish sauce, pure maple syrup, maple sugar, and finely chopped chilli until sugar is dissolved.

This deliciously succulent cod infuses crisp and sweet flavours from the sweet maple syrup and the zingy lime.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
