A elegant take on Cod Pilaf, built on dijon and tarragon and finished the way we like it. Ready in about 1 hr 5 min and easily enough for 6 people.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the dijon and tarragon elements, and pat the cod dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the cod. Cook over a fierce heat until well charred in patches, then finish through.
Stir in the creme fraiche and the rest of the dijon and tarragon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red onion along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped tarragon and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
