Description
This Cod & Potatoes in Rosemary Cream Sauce is a comforting and elegant dish that combines tender cod fillets with creamy potatoes, all infused with the aromatic flavor of rosemary. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or when you want to impress guests with minimal effort.
Ingredients
4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
 - In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add halved potatoes, cut side down, and cook until golden, about 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
 - In the same skillet, add butter, then onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
 - Stir in chopped rosemary and season with salt and pepper. If using wine, pour it in now and let simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
 - Return potatoes to the skillet, arranging them evenly. Place cod fillets on top of the potatoes.
 - Pour heavy cream over the fillets and potatoes, add an extra sprig of rosemary on top, then transfer skillet to the oven.
 - Bake for 15–20 minutes, until cod is opaque and flakes easily and potatoes are tender.
 - Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
 
Notes
Add vegetables like spinach, peas, or mushrooms for a different twist.
For a lighter option, use half-and-half or lower-fat cream instead of heavy cream.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated with a splash of cream or broth.
