Cheddar Cod Gratin
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds cod fillets
  • 3 tablespoons margarine
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take some butter and grease an 8x12 inch baking dish to prevent the fish from sticking.
3
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt, then bring it to a rolling boil.
4
Add the cod fillets to the boiling water and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until they're cooked through.
5
Drain the water and set the cod fillets aside.
6
Melt some margarine in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat.
7
Once the margarine has melted, remove it from the heat and mix in some flour to create a smooth paste.
8
Gradually add milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
9
Season the sauce with some salt and pepper to taste.
10
Flake the cooked cod into the prepared baking dish, creating alternating layers with the sauce.
11
Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top of the fish to add flavor and texture.
12
Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
