What you need:

• Cod

• Ham

• Havarti Cheese

Velouté Sauce:

• Butter (1 tablespoon)

• Flour (1 tablespoon)

• Warm broth (1 cup)

• Salt, pepper

Instructions:

1. Make the velouté sauce;

   • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter

   • Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour

   • When a blond roux is formed, slowly whisk in 1 cup of broth.

     *Make sure the broth is warm to prevent lumps.

   • Whisk until there is a Nâppé consistency (the sauce can coat a spoon).

2. Heat the cast iron or non-stick pan.

3. Salt the cod on both sides

4. Sear in the cast iron until a brown crust is formed.

5. Serve on a bed of vegetables of your choice. I used a peeler to make carrot strips.

6. Spoon velouté on top of the cod. Sprinkle a little parsley.
