Horseradish Cod - Pepparrotstorsk

HORSERADISH COD
Pepparrotstorsk

One of my favorite fish dishes, and since I can only eat whitefish, I'm lucky that cod, haddock and other such fish are so well represented in Sweden!

Serves 4

2 to 3 leeks, in all approx 1 lb
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cod fillets, approx 1 lb, or corresponding 
amount of frozen cod
salt

Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon flour
1.2 cups milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons grated horseradish
salt, pepper
0.2 cup chopped parsley


Heat the oven to 390F.

Trim and slice the leeks and sautée in a non-stick pan for a few minutes without browning. Spread it out in an oven-proof pan and place the fish on top.

Melt the fat in a saucepan and sprinkle with flour. Beat in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and horseradish (stir well, as the horseradish needs to be stirred out or it will kill you if you get a lump in your mouth and it starts to burn) and check for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the fish and bake for about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Serve with some kind of boiled vegetables and boiled potatoes. It's really, really delicious.

Enjoy!
