Directions
- Wash and halve or quarter your baby potatoes. Boil them in salted water for 8-10 minutes, until fork-tender; drain and set aside.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and zest.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cod for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then keep warm on a plate.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add more olive oil if necessary, then sauté minced garlic and diced shallots for about 2-3 minutes until translucent; add fresh rosemary and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the halal-certified broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and optional Dijon mustard, then simmer for 6-8 minutes until thickened.
- Fold boiled potatoes into the sauce for 3-4 minutes on low heat.
- Nestle the seared cod back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
- Plate the dish, garnishing with fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot!

Notes
Optional: Add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for extra brightness. Searing cod should be watched closely to avoid overcooking.
