Cod & Potatoes in Rosemary Cream Sauce : Comforting & Elegant

When you think of comfort food, creamy sauces and tender potatoes likely come to mind—but what if you could combine all of that cozy richness with light, flaky fish for a dish that feels both comforting and elevated

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs cod fillets (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 ½ lbs small gold or Yukon potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions


  • Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

    In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and butter. Add the halved potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5–6 minutes until lightly golden on the edges.

    Step 2: Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced garlic and rosemary. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

    Step 3: Simmer in Cream Sauce

    Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cover, allowing the potatoes to cook through—about 10–12 minutes.

    Uncover and pour in the heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for another 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the potatoes are soft and buttery.

    Step 4: Add the Cod

    Nestle the cod fillets on top of the potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet again and cook for 5–8 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    Step 5: Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or a light salad.
