Tender cod and thinly sliced potatoes baked in a silky rosemary garlic cream sauce, finished with Parmesan for a cozy, elegant one-pan dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish with a little butter or oil.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and rosemary sprigs, bring to a gentle simmer, then whisk in the Parmesan until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes to infuse.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, then season evenly with the 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour half of the rosemary cream over the potatoes. Nestle the cod fillets on top and spoon the remaining cream over the fish and potatoes. Remove rosemary sprigs if you prefer a subtler flavor.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
  6. Finishing Touches: Optional, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan and chopped rosemary or parsley. Let rest 2 minutes to set the sauce.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Plate each portion with both cod and potatoes, spooning over plenty of rosemary cream.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for evenly thin potato slices that cook at the same rate.
  • For gentle infusion, keep the cream at a light simmer, not a boil.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream for subtle warmth.
  • For brighter flavor, finish with a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
