1 tablespoon butter
05 -
Salt and pepper to taste
06 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
07 -
Zest of 1 lemon
→ Rosemary Cream Sauce
08 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
09 -
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
10 -
1 small shallot or onion, finely chopped
11 -
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)
12 -
1 ½ cups heavy cream
13 -
½ cup halal-certified chicken or vegetable broth
14 -
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
15 -
Salt and black pepper to taste
16 -
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 8–10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
02 -
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season each fillet with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let the fillets marinate briefly while preparing the pan.
03 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cod fillets in the pan and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a warm plate.
04 -
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add olive oil, garlic, and shallots. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Stir in chopped rosemary and sauté for another minute.
05 -
Pour in the halal-certified broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard if using. Simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
06 -
Return the boiled potatoes to the skillet and toss them gently in the cream sauce. Allow the potatoes to absorb some of the sauce and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes.
07 -
Carefully place the seared cod fillets back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes on low heat.
08 -
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot, plated individually or family-style, with crusty bread or a side salad.
