Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7. Toss the potatoes, 1tbsp of the oil and some seasoning in a large, shallow roasting tin. Spread into an even layer. Sprinkle over all but 2tsp of the lemon juice. Cover with foil and roast for 25min.
Step 2Meanwhile, make the tartare sauce. Mix all the ingredients plus remaining lemon juice and plenty of seasoning. Set aside.
Step 3Mix frozen peas, lemon zest, spring onions and remaining 1tbsp oil in a bowl with some seasoning. Uncover potatoes and push them to one side of the tray. Add peas to the other half of the tray. Arrange cod fillets on top of the potatoes and cook for 25min, or according to pack instructions, until crisp and golden. Serve with the tartare sauce and lemon wedges.
If your oven doesn’t have an extra-large oven tray, cook the fish and potatoes on one baking tray and the peas on another.
