Heat a little olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season the cod on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the cod until golden brown, remove the codfish and set aside. Keeping the pan on the heat, add the garlic, English, snap peas and fava beans. Cook for 1 minute then add the wine. Reduce all the way then add the chicken stock, herbs, scallions and chili flakes. Add the fish back to the pan, seared side up, season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened. Swirl in the butter and add a squeeze of lemon and taste for seasoning.
