Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets cod
  • 8 slices turkey bacon
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 2 pieces potatoes
  • 20 cl thick cream
  • 1 knob butter
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • a few sprigs parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Masher or immersion blender
  • Tongs
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Peel the butternut squash and cut it into medium-sized chunks. Cut the potatoes in the same way.
  2. Boil the butternut squash and potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Drain the vegetables and transfer them to a bowl. Add a knob of butter and the cream, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  4. Wrap each cod fillet gently with two slices of turkey bacon, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the bacon-wrapped cod in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the bacon is golden and crispy.
  6. Spoon the warm butternut squash purée onto plates and place the bacon-wrapped cod on top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, roast the butternut squash before boiling. If you can't find turkey bacon, feel free to use regular bacon. Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers: cod lasts up to 2 days, while the purée can last 3 days in the fridge. For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle smoked paprika over the cod before serving. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the purée and enjoy!
