Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
  2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the potato. Simmer for 4 minutes, then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, on a large chopping board, lay out 3 overlapping bacon rashers and top with a rosemary sprig; repeat alongside with the remaining bacon and rosemary. Halve the cod loin and lay a piece on top of each bacon section. Wrap the bacon around each cod portion.
  4. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the cod parcels seam-side down for 1 minute, then turn over and fry for 2 minutes. Transfer to a roasting tin, seam-side down, and roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add the potato to the frying pan and fry, stirring, for 2–3 minutes. Add the leek and fry for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the peas and stock, then simmer for a further 2–3 minutes.
  6. Season and serve with the cod parcels on top, with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
