Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes
Ingredients
1½–2 lbs cod fillets
1 lb yellow or Yukon potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup broth (fish, vegetable or chicken)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook a few minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced onion and continue cooking until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and rosemary, allowing the aromatics to release their fragrance.
Pour in the heavy cream and broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Nestle the cod fillets into the creamy sauce and spoon sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are fully tender.
Uncover and simmer a few more minutes if the sauce needs thickening.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Pro Tips (FAQ-Style)
Can I use frozen cod?
Yes—thaw completely and pat dry before cooking to prevent excess liquid thinning the sauce.
Can I swap the cod for another fish?
Absolutely. Halibut, haddock or any firm white fish works well in this creamy rosemary sauce.
How do I thicken the sauce?
Let the skillet simmer uncovered for a few minutes, or add a splash more cream if you prefer extra richness.
