Ingredients
- 10 pcs almond potatoes
- 750 gram fresh cod (mix lightly salted and plain)
- 1 pcs leek
- 3 pcs egg
- 8 dl whole milk
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp wheat flour
- 2 pcs shallots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 50 gram parmesan
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 0,5 pcs lemon (juice only)
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- breading flour / bread crumbs
- salt and pepper
- good olive oil
Step 1
Start by cutting the almond potatoes into small cubes. Boil a pan of salted water and add the potatoes. Cut the stalk of a leek into small pieces and add together with the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes. Boil the potatoes for about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Find a pan and add the milk together with the nutmeg and 1 bay leaf. Heat to just below boiling point. Add the fish and let it soak for 5 minutes. I let the salted fish soak in a pan of water at the same time. Take out the fish and save the milk for the sauce.
Step 3
Find a saucepan and add the butter and finely chopped shallots and garlic. Let the onion simmer in the butter for a few minutes before adding the flour.
Step 4
Stir well and add the warm milk in a thin stream. Make sure you do not have too much heat as the milk may burn. Once you have added the milk, let it simmer for 5 minutes. Grate the parmesan and add almost everything. Save a little to have on top of the gratin at the end. Add the mustard and half a lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Separate the eggs so you have egg whites in one glass and the egg yolks in another. Turn off the heat on the sauce and stir one egg yolk at a time into the sauce. Whip the egg whites and turn in carefully. This gives the sauce an airy and nice consistency.
Step 6
Put fish, potatoes and leeks in a casserole dish and pour over the sauce.
Step 7
Mix gently and pour well with breading flour or breadcrumbs. Put the rest of the parmesan on top. Finish by pouring on some good olive oil on top.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake for 35 minutes.
Now you have a fantastic fish gratin. Serve grated carrot with lemon juice next to the fish gratin. It is delicious with a little acidity and crispy texture to the gratin. Enjoy a delicious fish meal! Good luck.
