In a bowl over simmering water whisk the egg yolks until pale then add the butter melted slowly, season with some of the shallot vinegar reduction. To finish add chopped gherkin, caper, and parley. Keep warm.
To cook the cod, cut into around 150g portions and bake in the oven at 180c for 6-8 minutes until just flakes. Cook the peas in boiling salted water before draining and dressing in some olive oil. Plate the dish and enjoy.
