Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets. Set them aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the cod fillets, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife. Each slice should be roughly 1-2 mm thick.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
After marinating, place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down or flat if skinless.
Step 7
Overlap the potato slices on each fillet, starting from one end and layering to mimic fish scales. Continue until the fillet is completely covered.
Step 8
Melt the butter and lightly brush it over the potato-covered fillets to encourage browning and crispness.
Step 9
Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Serve the marinated cod fillets with potato scales alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
