The Corinthian Club’s head chef Stewart McAllister discusses his dish-of-the-moment, which is perfect for a dinner party or treating yourself at home.
Ingredients (serves 2)
140g Baby Leaks (trim & remove the outer skin, rinse)
100g Broad Beans (remove beans from pods & rinse)
100g Unsalted Butter Chives (Finely chopped)
2x 225g Cod Fillet 1x Whole Lemon 140g Samphire Grass (rinse)
1 whole tomato (de-seed & diced)
Method
1 Set the hob to medium temperature and place the fish in a frying pan skin-side down – after approximately 4-5 minutes, the skin will become crispy and coloured.
2 Following on from this, move the fish to a baking tray & place in a pre-heated oven (180°) for approx.
15 minutes. Check if the fish is cooked through by placing a toothpick in the centre of the fillet – if the stick comes out clean – the fish is cooked sufficiently.
3 Let cod rest while preparing vegetables.
4 Blanch broad beans & leaks together in small pan of boiling hot water for approximately 5 minutes.
5 Once cooked, transfer vegetables & a touch of pan water to the frying pan (used for cooking the fish) – this will ensure that you get plenty of flavour.
6 Toss in samphire, add a few small cubes of cold unsalted butter – mix until an emulsion is created.
7 Sprinkle chopped chives and tomato concasse – squeeze half a lemon into mix & add salt and pepper to taste.
8 Place cooked vegetables in centre of serving dish and position the fish on top, baste fish in left over emulsion.
9 Voila, the dish is complete – we hope you enjoy!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
