I guess growing up in an outport fishing community, I ate my fair share of fish. My mom is the expert on preparing fish of all kinds. Anything and everything that my Dad brought home from the ocean, and asked Mom to cook, she would search her cookbooks and find a recipe, and try it out. My Dad always ate whatever she prepared. Me and my siblings on the other hand were sometimes a little apprehensive. We would usually try it though. Lots of things I liked, but Cod fish was always the best. I like it prepared lots of ways, Cod au Gratin, is one of my favorites.

Cod Au Gratin

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan over med. heat, whisk in 3 tbsp. flour and gradually add 2 cups milk whisking all the while to form a roux(white sauce).
Chop one small onion.
Place cod fillets , chopped in bite size pieces, into a greased casserole dish. Put onion on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper as you wish. Pour white sauce over the fish. Top with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.

So easy, sooo yummy.
