Method

  1. Toast the corn in a dry hot pan 5 minutes, until it browns deeply in places, then toss it with the halved tomatoes and two thirds of the lime juice.
  2. Rub the cod with the paprika, cumin and half the oil.
  3. Sear in a very hot pan, 3 minutes a side, until a dark crust forms and the fish flakes at the center. Flake into large pieces.
  4. Stir the rest of the lime juice into the yogurt, spoon the rice into bowls, lay the fish on it with the corn salsa and sliced avocado, and finish with the yogurt and cilantro.
Chef’s tipThe pan must be hot enough to smoke slightly before the fish goes in; a cool pan gives you gray fish and no crust at all.
KeepKeeps 2 days chilled; best the day it is cooked. Slice the avocado to order. Do not freeze cooked fish.
SwapNo cod? Any firm white fish, or shrimp seared 2 minutes a side.
