This was dinner - my own version of the Hairy Bikers Baked cod with chorizo crust.

Served it with savoy cabbage and cannellini beans and a lemon aioli (garlic and mayonnaise). I included crushed macadamia and almonds in the crust, lemon zest, chorizo....

Absolutely delicious and very, very filling! In terms of calories, the fish worked out at 389 cals (could make it lower with smaller piece of fish, omitting the nuts, the mayo, etc). The cabbage and beans were 84 cals. My version of the recipe appears in the comments.

I use a lot of the Hairy Dieters recipes, they are very tasty and filling! Love food with lots of flavour, and spice, and the hairy dieters recipes certainly give you that!
