Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (150–180g each), skinless and boneless
- 500g baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small shallot or onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth (halal-certified)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the halved or quartered potatoes in salted water for 8–10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Season cod fillets with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and zest; let marinate briefly.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Sear the cod fillets for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium; add garlic and shallots, cooking until fragrant (2–3 minutes). Stir in rosemary and cook for another minute.
- Pour in broth and bring to a gentle simmer; then add heavy cream. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return boiled potatoes to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce for about 3–4 minutes.
- Slowly place seared cod back into the skillet; spoon sauce over each piece. Simmer together on low heat for an additional 2–3 minutes before serving.
