ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb new potato, peeled if desired (halved if smallish or cut into 1/2-inch chunks)
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, for the potatoes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, for the potatoes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
8 ounces cod fish fillets (skin removed if needed)
1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Put the potatoes in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir and roast for 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • After the 30 minutes of roasting, move the potatoes to the sides of the pan and place the fillets in the center. Drizzle with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper, adding the red pepper flakes if using. Redistribute the potatoes around the fillets. Add garlic if using at this point. Stir.
  • Distribute oil (in pan with potatoes) over cod filets on both sides using a paint brush or paper towel, adding lemon pepper seasoning on both sides.
  • Roast until the fillets are the same color throughout and flake easily, about 10 minutes. Top with the lemon zest and chives.
  • Tip: Serve this roasted version of fish and chips with ketchup for the youngsters and malt vinegar for the party of adults!
