Baked Cod

I made this for lunch the other day and managed to burn the sauce that was supposed to go on it, so I fudged the recipe. It turned out really good and my grama even ate three pieces! She never eats that much. Serve it with a baked potato or mashed potatoes and a salad. Yum! The recipe calls it baked cod, but there really is no baking unless you need to reheat it.

Baked Cod
2 cod fillets, cut into about 6 pieces (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup light cream
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper

1. Melt butter over medium heat in large skillet. Add onion and cook for a few minutes, until soft but not brown.
2. Add cod, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 1 minute on each side.
3. Whisk flour into cream, then add cream to skillet. It should reach at least 3/4 of the way up the fish. If it does not, add more cream or milk. Add bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook 5-10 minutes, or until fish is done. Spoon cream over cod and serve immediately.

You can make this ahead of time and reheat it. To reheat, preheat oven to 350F, then bake about 10 minutes.
