Creamed Codfish With Bacon and Onion image

This recipe is from Frank Melseth, SandPoint Alaska. He is the Captain of a fishing boat. He shared the recipe in National Fisherman, a commercial fishing publication. He said the crew loves it and it is easy to do. I use an applewood smoked bacon and have made it a dozen times.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (6 ounce) cod fish fillets, fresh not salt cod
3 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the chopped bacon and onion for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add salt and peppered cod to pan, moving the bacon and onion mixture around the fillets, reduce heat a little and turn the cod over in about 5 minutes.
  • Continue to cook the cod until it flakes easy.
  • Remove the cod, bacon, onions to a warm serving dish, and set aside, covering the fillets.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add flour and butter, stirring to brown the flour.
  • Add the milk and stir until it makes a thick brown gravy.
  • Ladle gravy over fillets and bacon, onion mixture.
  • Potatoes or rice go well with this dish.
  • Have the fishmonger cut the blood line from the fish-and I use an applewood smoked thick bacon.
