Cod au Gratin
Instructions- Chop onion into bite size bits
- Saute onion in butter in a 4 quart saucepan
- When onion starts to turn translucent, stir in flour slowly, being careful not to burn, to make a thick paste
- slowly stir in milk and continue to cook until it thickens (10-15 minutes)
- remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the cheddar. Will melt from heat of the sauce.
- Wash cod, and pat dry on paper towel
- Add cod to glass baking dish
- pour sauce over, and spread evenly
- sprinkle remaining cheddar on top
- Bake at 375 for approximately 45 minutes
Recipe NotesJust some notes:
- Add more or less cheddar to individual tastes
- season cod as desired before adding sauce. We don't cook with salt, but do add pepper
- We often cook a little longer because we don't preheat. Keep an eye out, cheddar on top should be golden brown, and sauce bubbling well.

I’ve always been a geek at heart, but yet I love the rural life I grew up with. Fishing, hunting, camping and the great outdoors are still loves of mine, even if I don’t pursue them as often as I once did. Sports were always a big part of our lives, and I played many (badly) and loved them all.

When fish were big and boys were smallOne of the staple things we had growing up was fresh, frozen and salted cod. Here in Nova Scotia haddock reigns supreme, but nothing to me beats the taste of a fresh out of the water cod. Generally the casual fisher back home used a hand line with a traditional …
Fruit chips ahoy!Anyone that knows me reasonably well, knows that my favorite snack has to be chips. Yes, I’m an unabashed chip-a-holic. Growing up back home we had more brands than now, there were Lays yes, and Humpty Dumpty, but also Scotties (click the link for an image of those), and of …
Shortest Phone ConversationWatching the world junior hockey championships on TV, I think back to the shortest phone conversation I ever heard. It was when the gang I hung around with were trying to organize a hockey game in on Elliott’s Cove Pond. I remember Derek Smith calling David Quinton and the conversation …
Yum! I modify the recipe in a couple of ways. 1-I cook the onions longer and slower to carmelize them first; takes about an our hour with the burner set on 2 out of 10. 2-O add a pinch of savoury to the mix; just a pinch or two and 3-I sprinkle on a layer of breadcrumbs before adding the cheese.
Thanks! I’ve tried the breadcrumbs, I personally don’t care for the crunch, but others will I’m sure!
Thanks for the comments!
