Roasted Cod with Grana Padano Sauce
Prep Time25 Minutes
Servings2
Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup firm cream cheese
1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp milk, plus more, if needed
1 small garlic clove, minced
salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
1/4 cup finely grated Grana Padano cheese, plus some for sprinkling
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil, oregano or parsley
2 (about 6 oz./175 g) grey cod or other cod fillets
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp smoked paprika (see Note)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. While oven comes to temperature, place cream cheese, milk and garlic in a small pot. Set over medium heat and cook and stir until the cream cheese has melted and smoothly blended with the milk. Mix in the 1/4 cup grated cheese and basil (or oregano or parsley); season with salt and pepper. Cover the sauce, remove from the heat and set it aside for now.
- When oven has preheated, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set on the cod fillets. Combine oil and paprika in a small bowl. Brush this mixture on the cod fillets. Season cod with salt and pepper. Roast cod 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- When cod is almost cooked, uncover the sauce, set over medium heat and make warm again. Thin sauce with a bit more milk, if you find it too thick. When fish is cooked, plate it, top with the sauce, sprinkle with a bit of grated Grana Padano cheese, and serve.
Note: Aromatic, smoky-tasting, deep-red, smoked paprika is sold in our bottled herb and spice aisle.
