    Coley and Potato Bake is a delicious and nutritious dish that is easy to prepare and flavorful. This recipe combines the mild, sweet taste of coley with the earthy, savoury flavour of potatoes and onions and is enhanced with a hint of smokiness from the paprika. It's an excellent meal for a busy weeknight, as it takes only a few minutes to prepare and can be served with various side dishes. It's also a great way to get your family to eat more fish, as coley is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
