How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Clean the leeks by removing the toughest green part and cut the white part into thin slices.
- Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil and fry the leeks until soft and lightly browned, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Add the liquid cream to the leeks and blend with a hand blender until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream.
- Place the leek cream on the bottom of an oven-safe tray, spreading it evenly.
- Dry the cod fillets with kitchen paper, season with salt and pepper to taste and place them on the leek cream.
- Sprinkle flaked almonds over the fillets to add crunch.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cod is cooked and tender, avoiding drying out. Look for the surface to be golden and the almonds crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
