    I was filled with horror when I saw beetroot in my veg box, but this fantastic salsa makes me hope they stay in season for a while. Delicious!

    I was a bit confused when making the recipe as there's quite a lot of olive oil there in my opinion, the first time I made it I just put half in the salsa and half to fry the fish and found the olive oil too much the next time I only used 1 tbsp in the salsa and 2 for frying the fish which worked much better for me. The recipe as it it is tasty, though adding balsamic vinegar and chopped coriander does really make the salsa something a bit special :)

    I love beetroot my husband is not keen but in this combination it really complimented the fish. A lovely meal to eat on a hot evening, light and very tasty.

    I needed to use up some beetroot so thought I'd try this, without too much hope, but I was surprised at how well it went with the cod.

    We recently tried to grow some veg in our tiny garden. The only thin g that delivered a plate-worthy harvest was the beetroot and spring onions, So, what to cook? THIS! perfect and yummy.

    Nice but I thought the flavours in the salsa were a little overpowering for white fish.

    We really enjoyed this, however, I tried to get pollack (tried 3 different supermarkets!) but couldn't get any so had to use sustainably sourced cod instead. I served it with some roasted new potatoes as my partner is diabetic and needs some carbs with his meal.

    We were given a fresh home grown beetroot from a friends allotment so we also cooked up the beet leaves wilted similar to spinach, the salsa was delicious and the leaves worked really well with it along with some minted new potatoes and pan fried cod loin. Will definately be making this dish again.
