PAN-ROASTED COD WITH STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare the potatoes. Put 12 potatoes in sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add salt to taste and cook for three to five minutes, or until barely tender. Drain and keep warm.

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut a quarter of an inch off top and bottom of whole potatoes. With a melon baller scoop out the center of each potato. Fill hole with reserved potato puree. Put potatoes on oiled baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make sauce. Blanche the parsley leaves in boiling water and refresh them in a bowl of cold water. Squeeze them dry and chop the leaves. Place oil in blender with parsley and puree. Set aside. Bring stock to boil in sauce pan with juice and zest of the lemon. Reduce by a third. Gradually whisk in butter, season with salt and pepper and three tablespoons parsley puree.
• Heat remaining oil in frying pan. Season cod fillets with salt and pepper and saute for two to three minutes on each side. To serve, divide the sauce among four plates. Put cod on top of sauce, three potatoes around the fish and top each with small spoon-full of sour cream and caviar. Serve immediately.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
• Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
• Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.
