French Mustard Mash with Poached Cod

750g floury potatoes
1 clove garlic
4 cod fillets
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp French mustard
100ml milk
25g butter (optional)

Method

• Cut the potatoes into chunks and place in a large saucepan with the garlic, cover with water and bring to the boil.  Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender, drain and return to the pan.
• Meanwhile, bring a separate pan of water to the boil and remove from the heat.  Season the cod and spread each fillet with _ tsp Dijon mustard.  Wrap each fillet in clingfilm and add to the pan of water. Set aside. 
• Mash the potatoes with the milk, butter and remaining mustards and season to taste. 
• Place the pan with the cod on a medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until fish is cooked.
• Serve the cod with the mash and garnish with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and freshly cooked French beans.

To roast the cod, place on a baking tray and season. Spread each fillet with ½ tsp Dijon mustard.  Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180˚C, gas mark 4 or until cooked. Serve with roasted cherry or vine-ripened tomatoes. Just drizzle with oil and pop in the oven at the same time as the cod for 10 - 15 minutes
