Cod, with tenderstem broccoli, pesto, peas and beans

Adapted (to make gluten-free) from "The Quick Roasting Tin". This is simple, speedy, healthy, and delicious. The carbs come from the beans and so this is an incredibly satisfying and well-balanced meal, whilst being sanctimoniously good for you too. The portions below are to serve two generously, with leftover veg for the next day (or not, if you love your veg as much as I do!). It's also worth investing in good quality pesto for this.
