Marinated Cod Fillets W/Potato Scales
- 30 ounces cod fish fillets (6 5-oz & relatively thin fillets)
- 12 baby new potatoes (washed & left unpeeled)
- 14 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill (chopped)
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
- Remove any skin from fish fillets.
- Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them.
- Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
- When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400F.
- Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve.
- Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
- Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife ... slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
- Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
- Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
- NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.
