    Method

    1. 1

      Bring a small pan of water to a gentle simmer. Add the cod and cook for about 5–8 minutes, until it reaches 63°C (145°F) and flakes easily. Drain well and flake with a fork.

    2. 2

      Slice the scallions. Mix the flour, baking powder, thyme and salt, then stir in 100 ml cold water to make a thick batter.

    3. 3

      Fold the flaked cod and scallions into the batter.

    4. 4

      Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Drop in heaped spoonfuls, flatten them slightly and fry in batches for about 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.

    5. 5

      Drain on a rack and serve hot with lime wedges.
