Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was pretty fast to pull together and tasty. I used a combination of cod and black cod that I needed to use up (the black cod was better in this) and used sannam chiles, which made it quite spicy and harder to appreciate all of the flavors from the spices. It felt pretty garlic-forward too, but I’ve had to avoid it lately so that could just be a personal thing.
