Ingredients:

  • 4 cod fish fillets (approx. 150g each)
  • 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ cup thickened cream

    1 Prepare the Cod

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Rub the cod fillets generously with jerk seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. Place the fillets on a lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. Make the Creamed Corn

    In a large frying pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the corn kernels and cook for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the cream, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Mash half of the corn with a fork or immersion blender to achieve a creamy texture while leaving some kernels whole for a satisfying bite.
