Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces fresh cod fillets (each about 6 oz) Firm, pristine-looking fillets
  • 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes Peeled and cut into one-inch cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a rich, creamy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped Elevates the dish with its herbaceous notes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Foundation for flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 zest of lemon Adds brightness

Instructions

Preparation

  • Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into one-inch pieces, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and add the finely chopped rosemary. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season cod fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Gently place them in the cream sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
  • Carefully fold in the boiled potatoes, allowing them to soak up the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm through.
  • Plate the dish, topping each serving with more sauce and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary for garnish.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh cod and rosemary. A touch of grated Parmesan can be added for extra umami. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently.
