This easy-to-prepare recipe from the *Dinner Party* cookbook of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series is part of a menu titled *Slimmers Delight* & turns ordinary cod fish fillets into an elegant masterpiece! *Enjoy* (Time does not include time to marinate fish fillets) Ingredients:
30 ounces cod fish fillets (6 5-oz & relatively thin fillets) |
12 baby new potatoes (washed & left unpeeled) |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 garlic cloves (crushed) |
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons fresh dill (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
2. Remove any skin from fish fillets. Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
3. When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°F.
4. Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
5. Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife … slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
6. Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the potato scales .
7. Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
8. NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well - 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) - 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.
