Steps

  • Simmer milk, onion, nutmeg, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a pan, then cool for 10 minutes.
  • Melt 25g butter in a pan, whisk in flour to make a roux, and cook for one minute.
  • Strain the cooled milk mixture into the roux and whisk until smooth.
  • Boil the mixture while whisking until it thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  • Stir in 10g butter, simmer for 3 minutes, add parsley, and season.
  • Crush tender potatoes and celeriac with butter and cream until smooth, then season.
  • Season flour on a plate and dredge the cod fillets until fully coated.
  • Fry cod in hot oil for 3 minutes per side until golden and opaque.
  • Add butter and lemon juice to the cod pan, then remove from heat once melted.
  • Plate the mash, top with cod, drizzle pan juices and sauce, and garnish with lemon.
