Happy Cod in Cream Sauce

Cod, also called the beef of the sea, is healthy and lean; we should eat tons of it. It is low in calories, mild in taste and it can be prepared in many different ways.

Dried, salted cod is packaged in a l-lb wooden box and can be found in the fresh meat section at your grocers. If they don’t carry this item, ask for it.

First, you place salted, dried fish in a large bowl of water. After 2 hours, change water and keep in refrigerator overnight to remove excess salt.

Replace water and poach fish - strain and lift fish out with the fish spatula and add to finished sauce.

If you use fresh, frozen cod, poach in salted water first and than proceed with the recipe. Poaching is done by bringing a pot of water to boil - turn heat down to medium, add fish. Remove with fish spatula when done. Add salt if fish is unsalted.
