Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Fresh Boneless Cod Loins*
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ½ Small Onion finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves pressed or minced
  • ¼ cup Corn Starch Or Potato Starch if needed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ cup Dry White Wine
  • 2 ¼ cups Milk
  • ⅔ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 teaspoon Dried Summer Savoury
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 Small bag Plain Potato Chips crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Cut cod into 1" pieces, arrange in an 8x8" baking pan. Alternately, you can divide them between 4-6 individual ramekins. Set aside.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and cook - stirring frequently - until onions are tender and translucent.
    Add corn starch to the pot, cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Add Dijon, whisking until well incorporated.
  • Carefully add wine to pot, whisking until smooth. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking frequently. Add milk, once again whisking until smooth. Heat until mixture starts to thicken.
  • Once sauce mixture starts to thicken, add half of the Parmesan and a small handful of the cheddar, stirring until thick, melted, and smooth.
    Add savoury, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Pour sauce over fish, stirring to coat and distribute evenly.
  • Scatter cheddar cheese across the top of the fish mixture, then remaining Parmesan.
    Spread crumbled potato chips on top
  • Bake – uncovered- for about 35 (individual ramekins) - 50 minutes (8x8 pan), or until fish is cooked through, and sauce is bubbly.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

* If using frozen fish, partially thaw it, cut it, then allow it to fully thaw and DRAIN before putting it in the baking pan.
