Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Cod fillets
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
- 1 teaspoon (divided) Black pepper
- 2 medium (about 2 pounds total) Rutabagas
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 small (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the rutabagas into 1-inch cubes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the rutabagas, and cook for 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the rutabagas are cooking, season the cod fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and cod fillets to the pan. Cook the cod for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cod and rosemary from the skillet and set aside.
Drain the cooked rutabagas and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, unsalted butter, minced garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Divide the mashed rutabaga between serving plates. Top with the pan-seared cod fillets.
Garnish the cod with lemon zest, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately.
