Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Cut the cod fillet into pieces.
  • Melt butter and stir in flour. Gradually add milk, a little at a time. Stir well between each addition until you have a smooth sauce without lumps. If using raw fish, you can make the sauce extra thick.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly, then stir in the eggs and season with salt and nutmeg.
  • Fold the cod pieces into the sauce and pour the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish.
  • Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake the gratin on the lowest oven rack for about 40 minutes.
  • Serve the gratin with grated raw vegetables and boiled potatoes on the side. You can also serve it with a little melted butter if desired.

3 Tips from the Chef

  • Homemade fish casserole can be made with any type of white fish, such as cod, coalfish, haddock, and ling. Both raw and cooked fish can be used, so leftovers from the day before can come in handy.
  • Cooked macaroni or vegetables can replace part of the fish in the recipe.
  • The cooking time will be shorter when the fish is pre-cooked.
