Norwegian home cooking - pan-fried cod with mashed potatoes

Overview

The Norwegians have a saying: Spiserdufisk, blirdufrisk. It means that eating more fish will make you healthier. Norway's long coastline has made it a major exporter of cod, salmon and other fish. Every winter, a large number of wild cod swim back to the coastline of western Norway to spawn, which is the annual fishing season. According to the latest survey, a healthy diet requires eating fish at least three times a week. Fried fish, grilled fish and fish soup have become highly visible dishes on Norwegian family tables. Today I would like to recommend one of the simplest ways to eat fish, which is pan-fried cod.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Quickly frozen cod, take it out in advance and defrost it at room temperature

   

2. 2 Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and marinate for a while

   

3. 3 The amount of potatoes depends on the size of the potatoes and the appetite of the person eating. Wash the potatoes and cook them with their skins on for about 20 minutes. Use chopsticks to insert them. If they can penetrate easily, they are done

   

4. 4 After peeling, add butter while hot and crush into puree

   

5. 5 Add an appropriate amount of milk and adjust the mashed potatoes to the desired consistency, but generally not to the super soft consistency of KFC. Add appropriate amount of salt and black pepper to taste

   

6. 6 While the potatoes are cooking, remove the outer leaves and roots of the mini cabbage, wash and cut in half

   

7. 7 Prepare another small pot of lightly salted water. After boiling, cook the mini cabbages for half a minute, remove and control the water

   

8. 8 Dry the marinated cod with kitchen paper

   

9. 9 Heat the pan over high heat until it smokes, pour in the oil, add the fish immediately, maintain high heat and fry for half a minute, then turn to the lowest heat and fry for 3 minutes, then change to the highest heat and fry for half a minute. Then you can flip it over and fry it in the same way until it is fully cooked. The fish fried in this way can be fully cooked without falling apart.
