Quantity: Serves 4

|
|
Ingredients:
|
|
1 lb. filet of cod 1 large onion
|
|
1 leek 3 - 4 carrots
|
|
2 tbsp margarine or butter 1/2 lemon
|
|
salt, pepper, seasoning
|
|
|
|
Instructions:
|
|
If you are using frozen cod, let it thaw partially before
|
|
preparing it. The more you let it thaw, the firmer it gets
|
|
after cooking. So, if you like the cod "juicy", leave it a
|
|
little frozen. Cut vegetables into thin slices. Melt butter
|
|
/ margarine in a large pan, preferably cast iron or
|
|
Silverstone. When butter is melted, turn down heat and ad
|
|
vegetables. Cut fish into finger thick slices and distribute
|
|
evenly on top of vegetables. Sprinkle with juice from the
|
|
lemon (squeeze half a lemon over the pan). Distribute salt
|
|
and pepper. Other seasoning by taste (soy - sauce, oregano,
|
|
whatever you like). Let steam for 15 - 20 minutes under a
|
|
lid. Serve on bed of rice or with potatoes. The steaming
|
|
produces quite a bit of gravy, so unless you want some
|
|
special sauce, you don't have to make any sauce.

Very tasty, healthy and good looking fish - dish. I have
|
|
also successfully prepared slices of salmon the same way. If
|
|
you add a can or two of hermetized tomatoes and some water,
|
|
you get a tasty fish soup. Please, if you make other
|
|
improvements or variations, let me know. ENJOY ! :)
