Ingredients

  • 1

    large garlic clove


  • 1/2 cup

    shelled walnuts


  • 2 tablespoons

    Gourmet Garden Lightly Dried Chives or fresh chives


  • 2 tablespoons

    Gourmet Garden Lightly Dried Basil or fresh basil


  • 3 tablespoons

    grated parmesan cheese


  • 6 sprigs

    fresh thyme (about 1 TB)


  • 1 tablespoon

    extra virgin olive oil (or garlic-infused olive oil)


  • 1/4 teaspoon

    sea salt (or as needed)


  • 1/8 teaspoon

    ground black pepper


  • 4 pieces

    cod (6 oz. each), fresh or thawed


  • 1/4 teaspoon

    sea salt (or as needed)


  • 1/4 teaspoon

    ground black pepper


  • 1/2 tablespoon

    extra virgin olive oil

Directions
  1. Preheat oven & make the gratin. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a small food processor, blitz the garlic until minced. Add the nuts and herbs and pulse until the texture is a coarse, crumb-like texture. Next, add the cheese and pulse until just combined. (Do not over pulse to avoid making the mixture pasty). Dump the mixture into a small bowl and add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Pat the cod dry with a paper towel. Place the fish pieces into a baking dish and season them with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Top each piece with a couple of spoonfuls of the gratin mixture.
  3. Place the dish on the middle oven rack. Bake for 9-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the fish is at least 145 degrees F and the gratin is lightly golden brown. Serve with salad and enjoy!
