Poached Cod With Potatoes And Leeks image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1.5 pounds yukon potatoes
4 dashes Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pieces medium leeks
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic
3 cups milk
6 ounces 4 cod filets

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover by 1"; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup cooking liquid.
  • Return potatoes to pot; add 2 Tbsp. cooking liquid and 2 Tbsp. oil and lightly mash. Season with salt. Keep potatoes warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  • Combine leeks, thyme, garlic, and milk in a medium wide saucepan. Season generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until leeks are just beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes.
  • Gently slide cod into infused milk and poach until flesh is cooked through and beginning to flake, 7-9 minutes (adjust heat as needed to maintain a low simmer; thicker pieces of fish will take longer to cook).
