Ingredients

Scale

Seafood and Vegetables

  • 4 fresh cod fillets (about 6 oz each), firm and white
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

Dairy and Sauces

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Herbs and Aromatics

  • 23 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent watery texture.
  2. Cook the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then sear the cod for 3-4 minutes per side until opaque and flaky. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  3. Make the Rosemary Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Sauté minced garlic and rosemary until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Stir frequently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and Warm Through: Add the cooked potatoes to the creamy rosemary sauce and gently toss to coat. Nestle the cooked cod back into the sauce and potatoes, warming everything together for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary for the most aromatic and authentic flavor.
  • Do not overcook the cod to keep it tender and flaky.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to prevent cream from curdling.
  • Drain the potatoes well after boiling to maintain a creamy texture.
  • Add lemon juice off heat to balance richness without curdling the sauce.
