Method

  1. Preparation: rinse the cod1, broccoli3 and potatoes2; peel the potatoes and cut into 2 cm pieces; separate the broccoli into small florets; prepare the steamer and set it to 100°C.

  2. Preparation: place the potatoes2 in the steamer or in boiling water on a bed of water to boil until tender; monitor the water level in the pot; boil the potatoes 12–15 minutes until tender; drain.

  3. Cooking: steam cod1 fillets and broccoli3 for 12 minutes until tender; keep the heat even; don't overheat.

  4. Cooking: remove the broccoli3 and cod1 when cooked; check the cod for bones and remove if needed.

  5. Preparation: mash the potatoes2 while hot; add butter4 and mash until fluffy, if needed stir in a small amount of water; achieve a uniform consistency.

  6. Serving: arrange the potatoes2 and broccoli3 on a plate; place the cod1 on top; drizzle a small amount of melted butter4.

  7. Serving: serve the dish warm; optionally garnish with herbs; store leftovers in the refrigerator no more than 24 hours.

Tips

Why it works
Cut potatoes into 2 cm pieces so they cook evenly and don’t turn mushy or stay hard.
Substitutions
Use frozen peas (40g) instead of broccoli; swap butter for olive oil (4g) if preferred.
Common mistakes
Oversteaming cod makes it dry—it should flake easily with a fork and smell clean, not fishy.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or keep for 1 day; reheat in a dry pan for 2 minutes to crisp the cod slightly.
Serve with
Pair with a side of cucumber sticks for crunch and balance the richness of the butter.

In short

  • A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 11 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
