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.

Remove skin from chorizo and slice into thin slices.
Dry out the ciabatta in the oven (about 20 minutes on 180 degrees). Break into pieces.
Peel and crush garlic gloves. Juice and zest lemon. Place chorizo in small pan and heat over a medium heat until juices run into pan. Add chopped dried bread and continue to cook, stirring, until bread pieces are coloured by the chorizo oil. Set aside to cool.
Add the crushed garlic and a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mayonnaise. Stir. Add black pepper, stir and chill.
Place the two cod loins into a oven proof dish which has been lightly oiled with vegetable oil.
Blitz the chorizo mixture, nuts and lemon zest with a food processor or Nutribullet until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumb mixture on top of the fish, pressing down with the back of a spoon. Place fish in the oven for 20 minutes until crust is starting to colour.
Remove fish from oven and drizzle with the olive oil before serving.
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!
