Kogt Torsk (Danish Boiled Cod)

Ingredients

Cod fillets

4 (6 oz) fillets

Potatoes

4 medium, peeled and cut into chunks

Water

4 cups

Salt

1 tablespoon

Black pepper

to taste

Lemon

1, cut into wedges

Fresh dill

1/4 cup, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Heavy cream

1 cup

Dijon mustard

1/4 cup

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a rolling boil.
2. Carefully add the cod fillets to the boiling water. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, remove the fillets and drain on a plate.
3. While the cod is cooking, place the peeled potato chunks in a separate pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. Once warmed, stir in the Dijon mustard and chopped dill, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through but not boiling.
5. To serve, place the boiled cod fillets on a plate alongside the boiled potatoes. Drizzle the creamy mustard sauce over the cod, and garnish with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of black pepper. Finish with additional fresh dill for a pop of color and flavor.
