- 4 cod fillets (about 150g each, skinless and boneless)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional for a tangy depth)
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Notes
1. Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds to ensure uniform cooking.
- Parboil the potato slices in lightly salted water for about 7-8 minutes, until just tender but not fully cooked.
- Drain and set aside to cool slightly while preparing the sauce.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
- In a large skillet or oven-safe pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and rosemary, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Make the Cream Sauce
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, blending until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice, adjusting seasoning as needed. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Dish
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In the same pan (or transfer to an oven-safe dish), arrange the parboiled potatoes in an even layer.
- Place the cod fillets over the potatoes and gently spoon the cream sauce over everything, ensuring full coverage.
5. Bake the Dish
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the sauce is bubbling.
6. Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the finished dish for color and freshness.
- Serve hot with crusty bread, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a well-rounded meal.
