Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C
  2. Put the cauliflower florets and spinach in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle the paprika, garlic, oil and lemon juice over the vegetables and mix well with your hands. Season with salt and pepper and cook on the top shelf of the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, season the cod with salt and pepper and rub in the harissa paste. Place on a foil-lined baking tray.
  4. Once the vegetables have been in the oven for the first 10 minutes, turn the oven down to 180°C, pop the fish on to the centre shelf of the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes more. To create the salsa, mix the tomatoes with the lime juice, chilli, oil and chives. Serve the vegetables topped with the fish and salsa, and sprinkle over the chives to garnish.
