Hi guys welcome to another episode of Fish Tales
so today I'm in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik
Where they catch the most beautiful cod and haddock, red fish,
saithe, but today I'm going to make you a delicious
and so easy cod recipe
its poached cod with steamed carrots and steamed potatoes
melted butter and that's all. First we need cod,
fresh fresh cod, this is so important because this dish
will only work if your cod is really really
fresh the eyes are bright, the skin is shiny
and the gills are red. This one
I got this morning straight from the boat in the port of Grindavík
what's so special about the fish arriving here
is you see it's one fisherman and
one small boat catching cod so
how more sustainable could it be MSC certified
It comes from a healthy fish stock, it's caught in a good manner which says that
no damaging of the the surface of the of the ocean, no bycatch, or limited bycatch
a good management. It will be on times square tomorrow night. So now we go back to my
outdoor kitchen where I filleted this beautiful cod
we use a bigger piece, the loin
So we start poaching the cod and this is so simple
you have your piece of cod, you have cold water
and a really full hand of sea salt, maybe a bit more even
make the water really salt, you put in the piece of cod
We put in on a fire and we bring it to boil
as soon as it boils you take the pan off, cover the pan
So we go to peel potatoes we just had some small ones here
and now we're going to peel some beautiful carrots
So now almost the cod is going to boil yeah
Now it is so what we do now we take off the pan
look how beautiful the flesh of the fish it's really
white white and we leave it here we leave it 10 -
15 minutes. It will slowly cook so the texture will be great, it will still be juicy
the flavors will be delicate delicate. So in the meantime we're going to cook
potatoes, carrots, just mix them together. This is outdoor cooking
So now we go for the salted butter, 30 to 50 grams
we going to melt the butter on a low, low heat
a simple au bain marie. Check the potatoes.
perfect. So we take
in the first place the fish if you press on it you feel that lamella
of the fish is separating
and look look at this look how beautiful this is.
This piece of Atlantic cod
Let's place it on the plate
and orange carrots, with some beautiful yellow potatoes
and then delicious melted smjör
we'll throw a bit over potatoes
a bit over the cod and a bit over your carrots
bit of sea salt
and some fresh pepper is just boiling
