Dinner, 31/1/15: Paprika baked fish with chorizo, lemon & thyme; new potatoes; cavolo nero


This is a recipe from Lorraine Pascal's book Home Cooking Made Easy, which has some nice, quick, simple things in it. We chose to have this with haddock, because the haddock was reduced to £9/kilo in the supermarket (and still looked lovely and fresh - not sure why it was reduced, but who am I to argue with that kind of price?).  I'm trying to cook a bit more fish - we all like it (though Geoff, Alex and I are the most fond of it) but sometimes it's hard (not to mention expensive) to cook fish for 5 people, so I often avoid it. This year I'm looking for a lot more ways to do it either in the oven or like we did with the salmon recently in a sauce in a pan, to avoid the logistics of trying to grill or fry that much fish. 

Anyway. This was lovely, and the chorizo and paprika really complemented the fish without overpowering it. Definitely a keeper. You can see the recipe online here.
