Seared Cod with Potato and Chorizo Hobo Packs

This vibrant seafood dish brings together flaky white fish and the smoky, robust flavours of Spanish chorizo. The pan-seared cod is finished with a unique pumpkin seed and lime butter, providing a bright citrus lift and a nutty crunch that perfectly complements the tender fish. This recipe turns a simple campsite meal into a sophisticated dinner by using the gentle steam of foil parcels to cook the potatoes to perfection.

Ideal for outdoor cooking or a rustic weekend supper, these individual foil packs make serving and tidying up effortless. While the recipe remains dairy-free by using a plant-based butter alternative, the rich juices from the chorizo provide plenty of savoury depth. Serve these parcels directly from the grill for a relaxed, wholesome meal that feels truly special.

How to make Seared Cod with Potato and Chorizo Hobo Packs

Mix pumpkin seeds, chives, lime zest, and lime juice into butter in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to parchment paper and roll into a log, or scrape into an airtight container; cover and chill.

Butter can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Prepare campfire for medium-high heat. Lay out four 12" squares of heavy foil. Divide potatoes and chorizo among squares; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold edges up and over to create packets; pinch edges closed. Cook on grill until potatoes are tender, 25–35 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet on camp stove over medium-high. Season cod with salt and pepper and cook until underside begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Turn; cook just until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with pumpkin seed butter. Open packets and top vegetables with cod; spoon any butter left in pan over.
