Pesto: Blend the oil, nuts, ginger and garlic in a food processor for 1 minute.

Add the herbs and blend to a smooth paste.

Heat some oil in a non stick pan. Season the cod and place skin side down in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until skin becomes crisp, turn over and finish cooking for about 2 minutes. Allow to rest.
