Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound cod fillets (about 4 fillets), skinless
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potato chunks with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- 2. Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour.
- 3. Sear cod in a large oven-safe skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Set aside.
- 4. Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add butter. Sauté minced shallot until softened (2-3 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).
- 5. Pour in white wine. Scrape bottom of skillet to deglaze. Simmer until reduced by half (2-3 minutes).
- 6. Add milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in chopped fresh rosemary. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- 7. Nestlé the seared cod fillets back into the skillet within the sauce.
- 8. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cod is opaque and flakes easily.
- 9. Garnish with fresh parsley and rosemary. Serve hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a low oven to prevent cod from drying out.
