How to Cook Cod Croisettes with Baked New Potatoes
- Place the new potatoes in a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Boil for for twenty minutes till cooked then drain and allow to cool a little on a sheet of kitchen paper. Place the potatoes on a baking tray, soften the butter and liberally coat the potatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper then roast for 30 minutes in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC).
- Meanwhile, sauté the spinach in a well oiled frying pan. Transfer to a mixing bowl once wilted and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Finely chop the walnuts and add them to the spinach along with the ricotta. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then mix well until combined.
- Wash each cod fillet and dab dry with kitchen paper. Lay each one face down on a long piece of aluminium foil on a baking sheet. Cover each fillet with the spinach-ricotta mixture then roll tightly from the thickest end to the thinnest until the cod is pin-wheeled. Wrap the foil tightly around each one and place the sheet in a moderately hot oven (Mk 5 - 375ºF - 175ºC) for 15 minutes. (If the potatoes are still cooking, leave the oven at the higher setting and place the fish as low in the oven as possible.)
- Remove the fish from the oven and allow to rest for one minute before unwrapping. Serve piping hot with the potatoes.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Remember that you "taste" a meal with your eyes before you taste it with your mouth. So add a small sprig of parsley to the fish when serving. You can also sprinkle the new potatoes with a few large grains of sea salt too.
Reviews of Cod Croisettes with Baked New Potatoes
November 06 2014 Incredibly simple yet unique blend of flavors and delicious tastes. I tried this for the sake of curiosity and found it to be an excellent meal, and super easy to make. The cod was moist and succulent as was the spinach wrapped inside. The cheese and walnuts really made it though, lifting it from an ordinary recipe to a very good keeper. Egon (4 reviews) |

No mess, no fuss, just throw it in the oven and leave it alone till it's ready to eat. That's the approximate theory! How close do we get?
Chicken breasts are thought by some people as being dry yet, properly prepared and cooked, nothing could be further from the truth.
