Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cod with creamed rice? Prepare your food. Take long-grain, steamed rice. Thaw the cod fillet first. Heavy cream for the sauce is suitable, 20%. If you use cream with a lower fat content, then when preparing the sauce you will need to add a little flour for thickness. Basil can be dried or fresh.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the cod fillets under running cold water. Dry it with a paper towel. Clean the fish from any remaining bones. Cut it into even portions, trimming off any irregularities. Salt each piece and sprinkle with lemon juice. Leave them to marinate at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.

Step 3

Step 3
Boil the rice until tender in a manner convenient for you or according to the instructions given on the package. I usually pour boiling water over rice at a ratio of 1:2 and cook until the liquid evaporates over medium heat. You can first fry the rice in oil for a few minutes, add two volumes of water and cook until tender.
