Description
A quick and comforting dish of tender cod fillets and fluffy potatoes in a rich rosemary cream sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of cod fillets
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes: Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then set aside.
- Cook the potatoes: In a large saucepan, add the diced potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sear the cod: In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, then gently place them in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and flaky. Carefully remove and set aside.
- Create the cream sauce: In the same pan, pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in the chopped rosemary and bring to a simmer.
- Combine everything: Add the cooked potatoes back into the pan and gently place the cod fillets on top. Spoon the creamy sauce over the fish and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the dish to a serving plate, drizzle with extra sauce, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy a meal that feels like a warm embrace!
Notes
Consider adding lemon zest, sautéed spinach, or cheese for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
