Ingredients

For the Cod & Potatoes:

4 cod fillets (150–180g each), skinless and boneless
500g baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon

For the Rosemary Cream Sauce:

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 small shallot or onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or ½ tsp dried)
1½ cups heavy cream
½ cup halal-certified chicken or vegetable broth
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes:
Wash and cut potatoes into halves or quarters. Boil in salted water for 8–10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Season the Cod:
Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let sit briefly.
Sear the Cod:
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cod for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce Base:
Reduce heat to medium. Add olive oil, garlic, and shallots. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Add Rosemary:
Stir in rosemary and cook for 1 minute.
Build the Sauce:
Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using). Simmer for 6–8 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add Potatoes:
Return potatoes to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce. Cook for 3–4 minutes to absorb flavor.
Combine & Finish:
Return cod to the skillet, spoon sauce over fillets, and simmer on low for 2–3 minutes.
Serve:
Garnish with parsley or chives and serve hot.

Notes

Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor.
Avoid overcooking cod to keep it flaky and tender.
Substitute cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
Serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
