Garlic Roasted Cod with Mashed-Potato Crust

Garlic Roasted Cod with Mashed-Potato Crust

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, light cream, or milk
  • 2 pounds cod fillets, cut to make 4 pieces
  • 2 teaspoons cooking oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat the oven to 450&176;. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and put them back into the saucepan along with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Mash the potatoes over very low heat, gradually incorporating the butter and cream.
  3. Rub the cod with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the cod in a large roasting pan, sprinkle the fillets with the garlic, and then spread with the mashed potatoes. Roast until the fish is nearly done, 8 to 10 minutes for 3/4-inch-thick fillets.
  4. Heat the broiler. Broil the fish until the mashed potatoes have a golden brown crust, about 2 minutes.

NOTES

Fish Alternatives Use other relatively thick, white-fleshed fillets in place of the cod. Good choices include grouper, haddock, orange roughy, red snapper, and turbot.
