  • 4 fillets cod (about 150 g each)
  • 100 g chorizo (mild or spicy), diced
  • 20 cl heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 10 cl heavy cream (for mashed potatoes)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan

Method
 

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks and boil them in salted water until soft (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Drain the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher or ricer. Add butter, cream, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a skillet, sauté the diced chorizo and shallot over medium heat until golden and fragrant, then stir in the cream and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Blend the chorizo mixture until smooth, then season with pepper and smoked paprika if desired.
  5. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan and season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. Cook them skin-side down for 3-4 minutes on each side until opaque.
  6. To serve, spoon mashed potatoes onto each plate, place a cod fillet on top, and drizzle with chorizo cream. Garnish with fresh chives.

Notes

Feel free to substitute cod with haddock or pollock if preferred. For a vegetarian option, use roasted red peppers instead of chorizo. To lighten the dish, try coconut milk instead of heavy cream. Mashed potatoes can be prepared in advance and reheated, but cook the cod fresh for the best texture. Store leftovers separately and reheat gently to maintain quality. Enjoy this dish on various occasions, from casual dinners to festive gatherings!
