Instructions
Put the first six sauce ingredients (clam juice, sherry, whole milk, garlic, shallots, bay leaf) in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil it down by half.2 In a separate saucepan (1-qt minimum) prepare the roux.
Heat one tablespoon of butter in the saucepan on medium heat until it is foamy.
Sprinkle in the flour, stirring a couple of minutes with a metal whisk until well mixed (tan, but not brown).3 Slowly add the reduced mixture to the roux, stirring quickly to incorporate. When you first add some of the mixture, the roux will bubble up. Just keep adding the mixture and keep whisking to incorporate.4 Turn the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time.
Add lemon juice, salt, and white pepper.
Add some more clam stock or water if the sauce is too thick.
Add the chopped parsley right before you serve.Prepare the fish:1 Arrange an oven rack so that when the fish is on a baking pan in the oven it will be 4 to 5 inches from the heat. Preheat the oven to 350F.2 Rinse the fish in cold water, cut into serving pieces if necessary.
Remove any bones with fish-bone tweezers or (spotless clean) pliers.
Lay the fish flat in a aluminum foil lined baking pan.Rub some olive oil over both sides of the pieces, enough to coat.
Sprinkle both sides with a few shakes of salt and pepper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until just done.To test, use the tip of a knife to gently cut into the thickest part of the fillet. The fish is done when the fish has just turned from translucent to opaque at the center. Once you pull the fish out of the oven it will continue to cook for a few minutes.3
Serve the fish with the sauce poured on top. Rice, crusty bread and a simple salad are good accompaniments.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Cod works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Thrive Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
