How to prepare Baked Cod with Potatoes

To prepare baked cod with potatoes, first peel the potatoes and slice them thinly 1. Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes 2, then drain them. Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper, brushing the center with oil 3.

Take the first tray: lay down a layer of potatoes, slightly overlapping them 4, to form a rectangle large enough to accommodate 2 fillets 5. Then place the fish on top 6.

Add chopped garlic 7, parsley 8 on the fillets and drizzle with white wine 9.

Also adjust the salt 10, then cover with more potatoes 11 and season again with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil 12. Do the same with the second tray.

Finish with more chopped parsley and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and the fish is well cooked. Remove from oven 14 and serve your baked cod with potatoes hot 15!

Storage

Baked cod with potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

If you have used all fresh ingredients, it can be frozen.

Tip

For an extra touch of flavor, add a sprinkle of untreated lemon zest just before serving: it will enhance the delicacy of the fish and make the dish even more fragrant.

As an alternative to wine, you can use a little of the potato cooking water.
