Ingredients
- 2 lbs Fresh Boneless Cod Loins*
- ¼ cup Butter
- ½ Small Onion finely chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves pressed or minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- ¼ cup Dry White Wine or chicken broth
- 1 ¼ Cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese divided
- ⅔ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese divided
- 2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 2 teaspoon Dried Summer Savoury
- Salt & Ground Black Pepper
- ½ cup Pork Rind Crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Cut cod into 1" pieces, arrange in an 8x8" baking pan. Alternately, you can divide them between 4-6 individual ramekins. Set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan over medium or medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and cook - stirring frequently - until onions are tender and translucent.
- Add Dijon, whisking until well incorporated.
- Carefully add wine to pot, whisking until smooth. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
- Add almond milk and heavy cream, once again whisking to combine.
- Measure ¼ cup of the shredded cheddar and ⅓ cup of the Parmesan into a small bowl. Sprinkle xanthan gum over the cheese, gently tossing to distribute it over the cheese shreds. This will prevent clumping.
- Add cheese mixture to the pan, stirring until thick, melted, and smooth.
- Add summer savoury, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pour sauce over fish, stirring to coat and distribute evenly.
- Scatter remaining cheddar cheese across the top of the fish mixture, then remaining Parmesan.
- Spread pork rind crumbs on top
- Bake – uncovered- for about 35 (individual ramekins) - 50 minutes (8x8 pan), or until fish is cooked through, and sauce is bubbly.
- Serve hot.
- Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap - or transferred to an airtight container - and stored in the fridge.Reheat and eat within 3 days.
Notes
If using frozen fish, partially thaw it, cut it, then allow it to fully thaw and DRAIN before putting it in the baking pan.
