A diet high in cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, has been linked to a reduction in the risk of cancer.  Cauliflower is also full of antioxidants and dietary fibre and is therefore a superfood that you should be including in your diet.  Paired with some heavenly baked fish and spices, this is a great weeknight supper staple.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 100g Greek yogurt
  • 1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced
  • 2 sprigs each of fresh mint and coriander, leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp turmeric, plus an extra pinch
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 large cod fillets
  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Step One – In a bowl, mix the yogurt and garlic with the chopped mint and coriander, a pinch of turmeric and the cumin, until completely combined.

Step Two – Add the cod, turn to coat and set aside to marinate.

Step Three – Preheat the oven to 200oC / 400oF / Gas Mark 6.

Step Four – Put the coconut oil into a roasting tray and place in the hot oven until melted.  Add the cauliflower, sprinkle over a teaspoon of turmeric and season with a little salt and pepper then toss in the oil to cover.

Step Five – Roast in the hot oven for 40 minutes, adding the fish for the final 12 minutes.  Serve immediately.
