Boiled Or Steamed Fish With Boiled Potatoes Recipe

Ingredient Prep

Gather all ingredients: 150g of cod or similar white fish, 150g of potatoes, 5g of fresh dill, optionally 5g of olive oil or butter, salt, pepper, 10g of lemon juice, and any other desired herbs like parsley or garlic. Wash and clean the fish. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.

Cooking Fish

In a steaming basket or poacher, place the fish fillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, drizzle with olive oil or lemon juice for added flavor. Steam over boiling water or poach in lightly simmering water for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.

Boiling Potatoes

Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil the potatoes until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes depending on size. Drain the potatoes and toss them gently with salt, pepper, and optionally with olive oil or melted butter for added taste.

Serving

Plate the steamed or poached fish alongside the boiled potatoes. Garnish with fresh dill, and if you like, a sprinkle of lemon juice and any other preferred herbs. Serve immediately.
