These tart pickled cranberries cut through the smokiness of the fish. You won’t need all of them; the rest are lovely with cheese, says Jamie.

Ingredients (13)

  • 400g parsnips, peeled, shredded (we used a julienne peeler)
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 50g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 600ml milk
  • 300g skinless smoked cod
  • 1/3 cup (80g) creme fraiche
  • Finely chopped chives, to serve

Pickled cranberries

  • 300ml apple cider vinegar
  • 300g caster sugar
  • 340g fresh cranberries (substitute thawed frozen cranberries)
  • 1/2 tsp whole cloves
  • 1/2 tsp juniper berries

Method

  • 1.
    For the pickled cranberries, place vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and continue to boil for 4 minutes or until cranberries have softened slightly.
  • 2.
    Transfer cranberry mixture to sterilised jar, seal, then set aside to cool. Chill, without opening, for 2 weeks before using.
  • 3.
    When ready to serve, toss parsnip, cornflour and oil in a bowl until well coated. Heat butter in a large frypan over medium heat. Divide parsnip mixture into 4 portions and, using a spatula, press each firmly into pan for the first 15 seconds (this will help rosti stay together). Cook for 5 minutes each side or until golden.
  • 4.
    Meanwhile, place milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Add fish, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate to cool slightly.
  • 5.
    Place rostis on a serving platter and top with creme fraiche. Flake over smoked cod, spoon over pickled cranberries and scatter with chives to serve.
