Steps:
- Slash the skin of the fish in a few places across the thickest part. This ensures that the fish does not curl, and cooks evenly. Sprinkle with salt.
- Mix all the chermoula ingredients in a dish, and marinate the fish in half the quantity for about 30 minutes.
- Slice the potatoes about 1/4 inch thick, and the tomatoes about 1/3 inch thick. Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a baking dish, put in the potatoes and tomatoes, and drizzle a bit more oil on top. Sprinkle with salt, then turn the vegetables so they are well seasoned and lightly coated with oil. Put the dish in a preheated 475ËšF oven for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Turn the vegetables over once during cooking.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and place the cod fillets (skin up) on top; place the dish back in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes more, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Just before serving, pour the remaining half of the chermoula over the fish, letting it dribble onto the vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
- Boil the potatoes until tender.
- Drain.
- While the potatoes are cooking, smear an oven tray with about a tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Lay the fish, skin side down, on the oil and smear another tablespoon of the oil over the flesh of the fish.
- Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes, until it flakes easily.
- Meanwhile, discard the thick, woody stems from the watercress.
- Put the remaining oil and garlic in the potato cooking pan (the potatoes should have been drained and removed by this point) and heat for a couple minutes.
- Return the hot potatoes to the pot along with the watercress and use a fork to mash.
- You are not aiming for a smooth mash but rather a crushed texture.
- When the fish is cooked, remove from the oven and carefully drain the juices from the pan into the potatoes.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES
When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
- Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
- Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

Steps:
- Smear the skin of the cod with the butter and season with sea salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. When very hot add the cod, skin side down, and fry, without moving the fish, until the skin is crisp and golden. Invert on to a shallow ovenproof dish, ready to finish it off in the oven.
- Put the cherry tomatoes in a separate shallow ovenproof dish and drizzle with another 1 tbsp oil.
- To make the sauce, cook the shallots and wine in a small pan for about 2-3 minutes until the wine has almost gone. Tip into a food processor with the crème fraîche and watercress, season with salt and pepper and blitz. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, return to the pan and set aside. Lightly whip the cream until it just holds its shape. (At this stage the cod, sauce and cream can be kept in the fridge, lightly covered with cling film, for up to 4 hours.)
- About 20 minutes before you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Roast the cod and tomatoes for 12-15 minutes until just cooked. Meanwhile, gently reheat the sauce, remove from the heat and fold in the cream. Taste and add more seasoning and lemon juice if necessary. Set the cod on warm dinner plates with the cherry tomatoes and spoonfuls of watercress sauce. Garnish with sprigs of parsley or chervil and serve with buttered new potatoes.

Tips:
- Select the freshest cod possible: Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid any fish that appears slimy or has a strong odor.
- Pat the cod dry before cooking: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
- Season the cod generously with salt and pepper: This will help enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Roast the cod at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh.
- Serve the cod immediately with your favorite sides: Some popular options include watercress crushed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

This recipe for roast cod with watercress crushed potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is roasted at a high temperature until it is crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside.
