Fresh cod on potatoes and mustard-butter, creamed spinach
Fresh and quick to make with a delicious foamy mustard butter
Ingredients
- 4 portions of ready-to-cook cod filets of approximately 200g each
- 3 large, peeled potatoes, chopped into strips
- 1200g fresh, young spinach
- 50g roasted pine nuts
- 2-3 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 finely chopped clove of garlic
- 2-3 spoons of medium mustard
- ½ carton of cream
- 1 lemon
- 200g butter
- Spices
Preparation
Spinach:- Wash the spinach thoroughly, 2 or 3 times and then place on a kitchen towel to remove excess water.
- Fry the finely chopped shallots in butter until soft and transparent and then add the spinach.
- Add salt, pepper and ground nutmeg to taste.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until ‘al dente’ then add the stock and cream.
- Wash the cod filets with water and the blot dry with a paper towel. Cover in lemon juice and then flour.
- Cover the potato strips with garlic, salt and pepper and then place on top of the cod filets.
- Due to the starch in the potatoes the dish has a certain binding quality.
- Place the cod filets on potato side first and fry the cod filets in oil for 4-5 minutes on medium heat, turning once.
- Fry the butter until light brown and then add the mustard.
- Stir continuously with a whisk for 1 minute.
