as well as my green potato masher.
You can't beat brightly colored kitchen supplies!
Parmesan Potato Pancakes
Boil 3 medium sized Yukon Golds until fork tender (about 20 minutes), drain and let cool. Baby Yukons would also work well, just omit the next step where you slice them in half.Slice width wise and place face down on cutting board.
Apply light pressure to each individual half with the potato masher.
Fillet of Cod
Normally for a flaky white fish I prefer coating in a panko or Italian breadcrumb mixture but since I was out of both I chose to prepare it seasoned with thyme in a lemon butter sauce.
Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt & pepper.
Coat both sides evenly in flour and then sprinkle with a few sprigs of thyme.
Meanwhile, juice 1/2 a lemon and set aside
Heat a couple slabs of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the fish until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are opaque, or the fish begins to flake.
Drizzle lemon over the cod as it simmers and to taste if desired.
I enjoyed this simple yet flavorful meal alongside a Long Trail Double Bag Ale.
The strong amber ale paired well with the rich buttery components of the dish. The chocolate and wheat malts didn't overpower the flaky fish as I initially thought it might. Instead it stood up to the flavors, and complimented the crispy golden potatoes and crunchy asparagus spears quite nicely. It felt good to have a home cooked meal this evening, especially since this week has some fun dinners out in store!
