Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan with 1/4 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and put them back into the saucepan along with 3/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper. Mash the potatoes over very low heat, gradually incorporating the butter and milk.

Rub the Cod with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Put the Cod in a large roasting pan, sprinkle the fillets with the garlic and then spread the potatoes on top.

Roast until the fish is nearly done, about 8-10 minutes for 3/4" thick fillets.

Heat the broiler. Broil the fish until the mashed potatoes have a golden brown crust, about 2 minutes.

Makes approximately 4 servings.
