Ingredients
  

For the Cod

  • 4 pieces cod fillets (6 oz / 170 g each) Fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter for searing

For the Potatoes

  • 1 lb waxy potatoes (Yukon Gold, fingerling, or red), peeled and sliced evenly
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil

For the Rosemary Cream Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp white wine (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)

For Garnish

  • Fresh rosemary sprigs, lemon wedges, or microgreens For garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Potatoes

  • Boil or roast the evenly sliced potatoes until they are tender, then season with salt and pepper.

Prepare Cod

  • Pat the cod fillets dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  • In a skillet, sear the fillets with olive oil or butter for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are golden and flaky.
  • Alternatively, bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes.

Make Rosemary Cream Sauce

  • In another pan, sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion in butter until they are translucent.
  • Add the cream and rosemary, and let it simmer gently for a few minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  • If desired, add white wine, lemon juice, or Parmesan for enhanced flavor.

Assemble Dish

  • Place the seared cod fillets on top of the potatoes, and pour the rosemary cream sauce over everything.
  • For a nice finish, briefly broil the dish for a golden top and slight caramelization.

Garnish & Serve

  • Before serving, add fresh rosemary, lemon wedges, or microgreens for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently. For longer storage, consider freezing the sauce and potatoes separately from the cod.
