Ingredients
  

For the Dish:

  • 4 cod fillets 150-200 g each
  • 500 g potatoes peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Rosemary Cream Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream 240 ml
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth 240 ml
  • Two teaspoons of finely chopped fresh rosemary or substitute with one teaspoon of dried rosemary to infuse your dish with a fragrant herbal note.1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Arrange the sliced potatoes on a baking sheet.
  • Lightly drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing everything to ensure a thorough coating.
  • Arrange the mixture in a single layer to promote uniform cooking.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender. Set aside once done.

Sear the Cod Fillets

  • Season both sides of the cod fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the cod fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
  • Transfer the cod to a plate and set aside.

Make the Rosemary Cream Sauce

  • In a large skillet, warm one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until it’s hot and ready for sautéing.
  • Introduce the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes tender, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes. Then, mix in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the pan to lift any browned bits.
  • Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and rosemary, stirring well. Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve

  • Return the cod fillets to the skillet, spooning the rosemary cream sauce over each piece.
  • Allow the fish to cook in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until fully cooked and flaky.
  • To serve, arrange the roasted potatoes on each plate and place a cod fillet on top.
  • Drizzle with extra rosemary cream sauce and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
