Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound cod fillets
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Garnishes and Optional Additions:
- Lemon wedges
- Parmesan cheese
- Spinach
- Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Scrub your potatoes clean, then dice them into ½-inch uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Submerge potato cubes in salted water, boiling at 212°F for precisely 11 minutes until fork-tender but not falling apart.
- Pat your cod fillets completely dry using paper towels, then season both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, adding 3 minced garlic cloves and sautéing for 45 seconds until aromatic.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary into the skillet, stirring quickly to prevent burning.
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the skillet, reducing heat to low and simmering for 3-4 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Drain your boiled potatoes and gently fold them into the creamy rosemary sauce, coating each cube evenly.
- Transfer potato mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish, arranging cod fillets carefully on top.
- Spoon additional cream sauce over the fish to keep it moist.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until cod flakes easily with a fork.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- Select potatoes with a waxy texture like Yukon Gold for the creamiest results and most consistent cooking.
- Pat the cod completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden sear and prevent excess moisture.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with Greek yogurt or use coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative that maintains rich flavor.
- Chop fresh rosemary just before adding to release maximum aromatic oils and enhance the herb’s delicate flavor profile.
