Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large shallot chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken or fish stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the center position. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add the potatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Add the cream, stock, rosemary sprigs, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, cayenne, and capers. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the cod all over with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven, nestle in the fish and pour the sauce over the top. Bake uncovered until the fish is flakey, another 10-15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, if using, before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, let the sauce simmer longer to intensify the rosemary essence.
