pan-fried cod with mashed potatoes
This means that eating more fish will make you healthier. The long and narrow coastline makes Norway a major exporter of cod, salmon and other fish
Ingredients
- 300 g Quick-frozen cod
- 2 potato
- Mini Cabbage moderate
- carrot moderate
- salt moderate
- black pepper moderate
- milk moderate
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Cooking Oil moderate
Instructions
- Quick-frozen cod, take it out in advance and thaw it at room temperature
- Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and marinate for a while
- The amount of potatoes depends on the size of the potatoes and the appetite of the person eating. Wash the potatoes and boil them with the skin on for about 20 minutes. Use a chopstick to poke it. If you can easily penetrate it, it is cooked.
- After peeling, add butter while hot and mash into paste
- Add appropriate amount of milk and adjust the mashed potatoes to the desired consistency, but generally not to the super soft KFC type. Add appropriate amount of salt and black pepper according to taste
- While the potatoes are cooking, remove the outer leaves and roots of the mini cabbages, wash them and cut them in half.
- Prepare another small pot of light salt water, bring it to a boil, boil the mini cabbage for half a minute, remove and drain
- Pat the marinated cod dry with kitchen paper
- Heat the pan over high heat until it smokes, then pour in some oil and put the fish in immediately. Keep frying over high heat for half a minute, then switch to the lowest heat and fry for 3 minutes, then switch to the highest heat and fry for half a minute. Then you can turn it over and fry it in the same way until it is fully cooked. This way, the fish will be fully cooked and will not fall apart.
Notes
Vegetables can be replaced according to your taste. Many fast food dinners are served with carrots and mini cabbages, so I chose these two.
I steamed the carrots, but forgot to take a picture. Just steam them until they are soft.
Salt is also added when the cod is marinated, and there is also salt in the mashed potatoes, so don't add too much salt, otherwise the whole thing will be salty. The taste of Western food is still relatively light.
When making it, boil the potatoes first. After the potatoes are cooked, prepare the mashed potatoes while frying the fish. In addition, prepare the matching vegetables at the same time, so that all the ingredients are completed at about the same time, and the other parts will not cool down because you are waiting for one.
