Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets, skinless and boneless (fresh or thawed)
  • 4 medium waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream or crème fraîche
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and slice the waxy potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking. Boil or par-cook the potato slices until just tender, then drain and set aside to remove excess water and prevent sogginess.
  2. Cook the Garlic and Rosemary: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil or butter. Add the finely chopped garlic and fresh rosemary, sautéing just until fragrant and golden to create the aromatic base for the sauce.
  3. Add Cream to the Pan: Pour in the heavy cream or crème fraîche, stirring gently to combine with the garlic and rosemary. Simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, forming a luscious coating for the fish and potatoes.
  4. Layer the Potatoes and Cod: Arrange the par-cooked potatoes evenly in the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over them. Gently place the cod fillets on top, season with salt and pepper, then cover and cook on low heat for about 10–12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Optional Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dish. For a golden crust, place the skillet briefly under a broiler or stir the cheese gently into the sauce for added depth.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor impact.
  • Slice potatoes thinly to ensure even cooking and creaminess without sogginess.
  • Do not overcook the cod to keep it moist and tender.
  • Simmer the sauce gently on low heat to avoid curdling or burning the cream.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to meld flavors.
