Marinated Cod Fillets W/potato Scales

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 30 ounces cod fish fillets (6 5-oz & relatively thin fillets)
• 12 baby new potatoes (washed & left unpeeled)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons fresh dill (chopped)

Recipe

• 1 combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
• 2 remove any skin from fish fillets. place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
• 3 when ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°f.
• 4 drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/pam.
• 5 using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife … slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
• 6 overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
• 7 bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (if the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
• 8 notes: 1) the thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) although written for the use of cod, imo other fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.
