This is a traditional Scottish recipe that marries cod with mustard seeds.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of chives
1kg fresh cod
250ml milk
250ml water
sea salt, to taste
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp plain flour
4 tbsp mustard seeds, crushed

Method:

Line the base of a pan with the chives and set the fish on top. Cover with the milk and water and season to taste with the sea salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the fish and set aside to keep warm.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a separate pan and add the mustard seeds. Cook for a few minutes then stir-in the flour to form a roux. Add a little of the fish stock and whisk until thickened. Add some more of the fish stick then pour the sauce back into the original pan. Whisk to combine, return to a simmer then cook until the mixture starts to thicken.

Arrange the fish on a plate, pour the sauce over the top and serve immediately.
