Introduction

Cod Mornay is a classic French dish that features tender cod fillets baked in a creamy, cheesy sauce. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

For the cod:
  • 4 cod fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
For the Mornay sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Cod

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil. Rinse your cod fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Brush the fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them in your greased baking dish.

Step 2: Making the Mornay Sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk together for 1-2 minutes until it becomes a paste. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously. The mixture will thicken as it heats up. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Adding the Cheese

Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and add the grated Gruyere and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4: Baking the Cod

Pour the Mornay sauce over the cod fillets, making sure to cover them completely. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cod is cooked through and the sauce is golden brown.
