Method

Preparation: 30 minutes
Oven: 20-25 minutes

  • Prepare the gratins according to the instructions on the packaging.
  • Put the lemon and orange zest with the sugar and orange juice in a saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat; Don’t let it boil!
  • Cut the cod fillet into 12 medallions. Sprinkle the fish medallions with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Marinate for 5 minutes.
  • In a frying pan, heat the last 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake the fish medallions for 6-8 minutes until just cooked.
  • In the meantime, strain the warm sauce base. Use the hand blender to purée the sauce base with the crème fraiche. 
  • Add the butter in flakes and purée for another minute until a creamy sauce is formed. Cut the gratins in half and place them on 4 plates. 
  • Add the fish medallions. Spoon the sauce over it and sprinkle with the peas. Place the salad between the gratin halves.

Tip: Take young peas, they are so fresh and crunchy that they can be eaten straight from the pod.
