South African Smoked Cod With Three Cheese Sauce
July 27th 2010 06:28
In Australia, seafood is synonymous with summer, but dishes such as clam chowder, seafood pies and oysters kilpatrick are just a few of the many great winter seafood dishes. The following recipe, with step by step pics, is a slight variation on smoked cod in white sauce, and a great way to use up a leftover cheese platter. I have used imported smoked cod from South Africa, and at eleven dollars per kilogram, the two fish fillets depicted cost $4.80 AUD. The health and nutritional benefits of fish are well known so include some seafood in your winter diet.
Ingredients
436g (1lb) Smoked cod fillets
250ml (½ pint) milk
200ml (1/3 pint) Bechamel Sauce
50g (2oz) Parmesan cheese
50g (2oz) Cheddar cheese
50g (2oz) Blue vein cheese
1 pinch Paprika
Method
Pour the milk into a shallow pan.
Place the fish fillets in the milk skin side down and heat to a gentle simmer.
Poach for ten minutes with a lid on, then remove fish to a warming plate.
Reserve the poaching liquid in a cup.
Heat the béchamel in the same pan, diluting with the poaching liquid if required.
Remove from the heat and add the cheese, reserving a small amount for presentation.
Stir the cheese through the sauce but do not reboil the sauce after adding the cheese.
Spoon the sauce over the fish and decorate with a sprinkle of cheese and a pinch of paprika.
