Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh Alaskan cod fillets
• 4 medium blue potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups fish stock or seafood broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 lemon wedge

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the blue potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, celery, and carrots. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well for 1-2 minutes, allowing the raw flour taste to cook out.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the fish stock or seafood broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the blue potatoes, thyme, dill, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Cut the Alaskan cod into bite-sized chunks. Gently add the fish to the simmering stew, making sure not to break up the pieces. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream. Let the stew warm through for 2-3 minutes without boiling.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf, taste the stew, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
