Roasted Cod with Prosciutto and Fresh Sage
- 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/2 head of Savoy cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds), finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Six 6-ounce pieces of fresh cod fillet, about 1 1/2 inches thick
- 18 fresh sage leaves, 12 whole and 6 minced
- 6 paper-thin slices prosciutto di Parma
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dry white wine
- Juice and finely grated zest of 1 small lemon
- 1 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- In a small saucepan, boil the carrots in lightly salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Add the onion and saute over high heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and toss to coat with oil.
- Reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley and coriander and season with salt and pepper.
- Keep warm over very low heat.
- Pat the cod dry and place 2 whole sage leaves on top of each piece.
- Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each piece of cod and secure it with a toothpick.
- Lightly dust the cod with flour and pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet.
- Add the cod and cook over moderately high heat until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
- Using a spatula, transfer the fish to a small baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, set the skillet in which the fish was seared over high heat.
- Add the wine, lemon juice and lemon zest and boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until only a few tablespoons remain, about 7 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, butter and the reserved cooked carrots and boil until reduced by half and thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced sage and season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the cabbage if necessary.
- Bring the sauce to a boil.
- Mound the cabbage in the center of 6 warmed plates.
