Method

  1. 1

    Mix. Combine the tomatoes, capers, spring onions, rinsed onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl and leave at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Boil. Bring 1000 ml water to the boil in a wide pan.

  3. 3

    Poach. Lower in the cod fillets, return to the boil for about 2 min, then take off the heat.

  4. 4

    Rest. Leave the fish in the hot water until it flakes and reaches 63 °C in the centre, 5-7 min depending on thickness.

  5. 5

    Drain. Lift out the cod with a fish slice, drain well and set on warm plates.

  6. 6

    Serve. Spoon the ravigote over and around the fish and serve at once.

Storage

This dish is best served immediately while the fish is warm and the ravigote is fresh. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
