Ingredients you'll need
  • 2 lemon
  • 2 orange
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 red onion
  • 2 avocado
  • 150g red quinoa
  • 4 cod fillets
  • A handful of coriander, leaves only
  • 1 mini romaine lettuce
From your kitchen
  • Sea salt
  • 150ml boiling water
  • 2 tsp olive oil
You'll need
  • Small pan with lid
  • Measuring jug
  • Baking tray
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Juice the lemon and orange into a large bowl. Stir in 1 tsp caster sugar and a pinch of salt. This is your ceviche dressing.

  • 2.

    Peel and finely slice the red onion. Add it to the ceviche dressing.

  • 3.

    Halve the avocado. Scoop out the stone. Scoop the avocado flesh out of the skin. Dice it and add it to the dressing. Set aside for 20 mins to marinate.

  • 4.

    While the veg marinate, fill and boil your kettle. Tip the red quinoa into a small pan. Pour in 150ml boiling water, cover and set over a high heat. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15-20 mins till the quinoa has absorbed the water and is tender. If the pan dries out too quickly, add a splash more water and turn the heat down.

  • 5.

    While the quinoa cooks, heat your grill to high. Line a baking tray with foil. Rub 1 tsp oil and some salt and pepper into each cod fillet. Lay them on the tray, skin-side up, and grill for 10-12 mins till the skin is crisp and the fish is opaque and flakes easily when you press it with a fork.

  • 6.

    Separate the lettuce leaves and arrange them on 2 warm plates. Top with the quinoa and the cod fillets and spoon over the ceviche dressing, red onion and avocado. Garnish with coriander leaves to serve.

  • 7.

    Fluff the quinoa and divide it between 2 warm plates. Top with the grilled cod fillets. Spoon over the ceviche dressing, the red onion and the avocado. Garnish with coriander leaves to serve.
