Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F).
- 2
Cook the onion and celery in half the butter over medium heat until softened.
- 3
Combine with the bread cubes, savoury, salt, pepper and enough stock to moisten without making it soggy.
- 4
Lay one cod fillet in a buttered baking dish, spread the stuffing over it, and top with the second fillet, or pack the stuffing into a pocket cut in a single thick fillet.
- 5
Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
- 6
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the fish flakes easily and the stuffing is heated through.
- 7
Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Chef's tips
If using two thinner fillets, tie or skewer them together so the stuffing stays enclosed while baking.
Ingredient substitutions
- savoury → dried sage
- cod → haddock
Storage
Keeps 2 days covered in the fridge.
Reheating
Reheat covered in a moderate oven until warmed through.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Making the stuffing too wet, so it turns gummy
- •Overbaking, drying out the fish
