Ingredients:
- 112 quarts - small potatoes, halved, quartered if larger
- 2 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/4 teaspoons - kosher salt
- 1/3 cups - all purpose flour
- 4 - 4-6 oz cod fillets, patted dry with paper towels
- - freshly ground pepper
- 1 - shallot finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons - unsalted butter, divided
- 1/4 cups - fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons - Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons - honey
- 1/3 cups - tarragon leaves, plus more for serving
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450. Place potatoes on a rimmed bakng sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Toss to coat and arrange in a single layer. Roast until golden brown underneath, about 30 mins.
2. Meanwhile, place flour on a plate. .Season fish all over with salt and pepper. Lay one side of each fillet in flour to coat; shake off any excess and place, flour side up, on another plate. Heat remaining 2 Tbs oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook fish, flour side down, undisturbed, until golden brown and crisp underneath, 5-7 minutes. Turn; cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer, flour side up, to a clean plate.
3. Add shallot and 3 Tbsp butter to same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is slightly softened, 1-2 mins. Add lemon juice, mustard, honey, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 cup water. Cook stirring often, until thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat; add 1/4 cup tarragon, and remaining 2 Tbsp butter and stir until sauce is emulsified. Season with salt.
4. Arrange fish, flour side up, in pan and spoon some sauce over. Season with salt and pepper and scatter more tarragon on top. Serve with potatoes on the side.
