Preparation
- Parboil the Brussel sprouts in a large saucepan of salted, boiling water until just tender to the tip of a knife, 8-10 minutes. Drain well.

- Arrange the Brussels sprouts and fennel slices on a separate grilling tray.
- Drizzle with some olive oil, turn to coat, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Grill the cod for 6-8 minutes until firm to the touch and opaque; the topping should be golden-brown.
- Remove from the grill and keep warm, covered with aluminium foil.
- Grill the sprouts and fennel until golden-brown, turning occasionally, 6-8 minutes as well.
- Remove from the grill and serve alongside the grilled cod.
- Garnish with fennel and thyme sprigs.
