Cod Loin with Potato Scales Recipe
Flavors of Charente Maritime
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Don't peel the little potatoes (use Ile-de-Ré potatoes if available). Their thin tender skin is full of vitamins and will add an authentic touch to the golden "scales."
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 4 x 150 g (5 oz.) fresh cod loin (thick filet)
- 8 new potatoes
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- 4 small pinches of fleur de sel
Method
- Wash the potatoes and dry them, rubbing them lightly.
- Using a mandolin, food processor or paring knife, slice the potatoes into very thin rounds (like potato chips).
- Overlap the scales on a non-stick baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
- Cook in a 200° C (400° F) oven for 6-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, steam the cod for 7 minutes.
- To serve, present the cod loin dressed in its golden potato scales; serve with a little salad sprinkled with fresh herbs and drizzled with olive oil
