Steps:
- Spread the cajun spice on a plate and cover both sides of the cod fillets. Cut the sweet potato into chunks and cover with water, boil until soft; be careful not too overcook as they can turn brown.
- once the potato has cooked mash with butter and season. i cooked the broccoli in a pan of hot water for about 5 minutes until just tender.
- When your broccoli is about halfway heat the olive oil in the pan, add the ginger so it starts to soften and season the pan. Add the fillets and cook on each side for about 2 minutes, turn carefully as they become quite soft. When cooked serve with a scattering of the spring onions.
Tips:
- For a crispier cod fillet, pat the cod dry with paper towels before dredging it in the seasoned flour.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the cod. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry and will result in a soggy fish fillet.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to fry the cod. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Serve the cod with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or cocktail sauce.

This spicy Cajun-style cod recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. The cod is coated in a flavorful blend of spices and then fried until golden brown. The result is a crispy, flaky fish fillet with a spicy kick. Serve the cod with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
