Salted Cod

Cod with mustard

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
4 slices of cod (weighing about 200 g each)
Two litres court-bouillon
70 grams butter
Two tablespoons English mustard (powder)

Decorate with lemon slices and parsley sprigs

Preparation

Wash the fish and remove its larger bones. Place it in a fish-kettle and cover it completely with court-bouillon. Place the pot over high heat, bring to a boil, lower the heat and allow to simmer slowly for about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, in a small bowl work the mustard into the pieces of butter so as to obtain an even cream. Melt the cream over very low heat for two or three minutes. Drain the fish with the skimmer and arrange it on the hot serving dish. Cover the fish with the sauce and garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce in a sauce-bowl.

The original recipe calls for English mustard powder, which is rather strong. According to taste, you can replace it with a sweeter French mustard.

Enjoy!


English style cod fillets

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes

Ingredients for 4 servings:
Two fresh cod fillets (about 250 grams each)
400 grams boiled potatoes
60 grams bread-crumbs
One garlic clove, minced
One tablespoon chopped parsley
A few small leaves of thyme or One tablespoon melted butter
Half a cup liquid cream
One egg yolk
Salt
Pepper
A bit of butter for the pan

Preparation

Wash and dry the fish and place one of the fillets in a buttered baking pan. In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, a few thyme leaves, the melted butter, salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the fillet in the pan and top with the other fillet. Add up to half-way the cream and place in a preheated oven (180°C) for about 1/4 hour.

In the meantime, put the potatoes through a potato-masher, place the purée in a bowl and add the egg yolk and the remaining cream and mix thoroughly. Whip the egg whites into a stiff froth and add it to the potato mixture. Remove the pan from the oven and cover the fish with this purée.

Place the pan back in the oven and let it stand until the top of the fish becomes crunchy and golden-coloured.

Enjoy!
