Ingredients
Method
For the casserole, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan and add the shallots along with a pinch of salt.
Cook gently for 6-8 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce over a high heat.
Add the stock and reduce by a third. In a frying pan, sear the chorizo, caramelising well. Add the chorizo and drained beans to the shallot mix. Season well and cook until the liquid is syrupy.
Season the skin side of the Norwegian cod portions and dust lightly with flour. Heat the oil in a heavy non-stick pan and place the cod in skin side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is starting to crisp.
Season the flesh with salt, turn the fish over and cook to a golden colour on all sides. Return to the skin side, add the butter and baste. Finish the cooking in a hot oven if necessary. Remove the fish to a clean cloth and allow to rest.
Divide the wilted spinach between shallow bowls or plates and lay a piece of Norwegian cod on top. Add the parsley to the casserole, check the seasoning, then spoon it around the fish.
