Description
A comforting and elegant one-pan dinner featuring flaky cod, tender potatoes, and a fragrant rosemary cream sauce. Easy to make and delightful to eat.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1.5 pounds cod fillets, skin removed, cut into 2-3 pieces each (about 6 oz per piece)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus extra sprigs for garnish
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, but recommended for depth)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.
- 3. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and starting to crisp around the edges.
- 4. While the potatoes are roasting, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- 5. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary.
- 6. Once the potatoes are nearly done, remove the skillet from the oven. Gently nestle the cod fillets among the potatoes in the skillet.
- 7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary mixture and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 8. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- 9. Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
- 10. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- 11. Carefully spoon the hot cream sauce over the cod fillets in the skillet, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
- 12. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the sauce is bubbling. The exact cooking time for the cod will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
- 13. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra rosemary sprigs before serving.
Notes
Store any leftover Rosemary Cream Sauce Cod & Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the dish in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, or cover with foil and reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fish dry and the sauce watery.
