Creamed Codfish With Bacon And Onion
This recipe is from frank melseth, sandpoint alaska. He is the captain of a fishing boat. He shared the recipe in national fisherman, a commercial fishing publication. He said the crew loves it and it is easy to do. I use an applewood smoked bacon and have made it a dozen times.
Steps
Saute the chopped bacon and onion for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Add salt and peppered cod to pan , moving the bacon and onion mixture around the fillets , reduce heat a little and turn the cod over in about 5 minutes.
Continue to cook the cod until it flakes easy.
Remove the cod , bacon , onions to a warm serving dish , and set aside , covering the fillets.
Reduce the heat to low and add flour and butter , stirring to brown the flour.
Add the milk and stir until it makes a thick brown gravy.
Ladle gravy over fillets and bacon , onion mixture.
Potatoes or rice go well with this dish.
Have the fishmonger cut the blood line from the fish-and i use an applewood smoked thick bacon.
