Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Cod fillets
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Black pepper
• 2 medium (about 2 pounds total) Rutabagas
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 small (zested and juiced) Lemon
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the rutabagas into 1-inch cubes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the rutabagas, and cook for 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 2

While the rutabagas are cooking, season the cod fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and cod fillets to the pan. Cook the cod for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cod and rosemary from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Drain the cooked rutabagas and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, unsalted butter, minced garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Divide the mashed rutabaga between serving plates. Top with the pan-seared cod fillets.

Step 6

Garnish the cod with lemon zest, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately.
