Metric
- 2 cod fillets (+- 250 grams)
- 1⅔ cups milk (either whole or semi-skimmed)

Make it lactose-friendly
- 400ml of milk, either whole or semi-skimmed → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
- 150ml fresh cream → lactose-free cream or coconut cream
- grated cheese (mozzarella works fine) → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)
Steps
- Pour the milk into a saucepan, bring to boil, then place the cod fillets inside. Boil for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice the onions and place in a frying pan with some olive oil. Fry until golden.
- Drain the cod (keep the milk!), place in a chopping board, then shred it. Mix with the onions, fry for a couple of minutes, then add the milk you used to boil it with. Add the flour to thicken. Keep on low heat for 5-10 minutes until you get the desired consistency.
- Chop the potatoes into cubes roughly the size of a dice. Lightly fry them in some oil or olive oil (not deep frying) for around 5-10 minutes, in low heat.
- Get an oven tray, oil it with some olive oil, then put in the cod and the potatoes, mixing well. Add the ground nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Put it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
- Enjoy!
