Ingredients
  • ¾ lb russet potatoes
  • 1 T butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 t minced thyme
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 – 4 to 6 oz skinless cod fillets
  • 1 ½ T butter, cut into quarter inch pieces
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon slices thin
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a mandolin to slice potatoes into quarter inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, combine potatoes with melted butter, garlic, minced thyme, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  3. Shingle the potatoes into two rectangles on the baking sheet, about 4x6 inches.
  4. Roast potatoes until just tender, about 30-35 minutes. Rotate pan after 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, pat cod dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove potatoes from oven. Place one piece of cod on top of each rectangle of potatoes. Top with pieces of butter, 2 sprigs of thyme each, and lemon slices.
  7. Return to oven for about 15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches 140 degrees.
  8. To serve, use a spatula to carefully transfer to plates.
