This One-Pan Spanish Cod with Potatoes & Peas is what Spanish food is all about. Packed with flavors, easy to make and no tricky cooking skills. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for the ultimate experience.

Spanish Cod with Potatoes & Peas
This dish is known here in Spain as Bacalao con Patatas y Guisantes. It´s typically served for a sunday lunch, but you can enjoy it for any meal of the day. Either way, it´s a dish that will instantly transport you to beautiful España.

Spanish Cod with Potatoes & Peas
To make this dish, I used cod I bought frozen and thawed out. But you can use fresh cod or any other type of white firm fish. I also used vegetable broth to cook all the ingredients, as it adds an incredible depth of flavors. But you can also use water. Just make sure to season accordingly.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The thickness of my cod fillets where 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. I cooked them for 2 1/2 minutes per side. If your fillets are thinner go for about 2 minutes per side. If they are thicker, go for 3 minutes per side.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 118 ml
  • 14 oz cod fillet 400 grams
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 30 grams
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.15 grams
  • 1 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1/2 cup white wine 118 ml
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth 600 ml
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas 70 grams
  • handful fresh parsley
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  2. Meanwhile, pat dry a 14 oz fillet of cod with paper towels, cut into 4 evenly sized pieces and season with sea salt & black pepper

  3. Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into a shallow bowl, along with 1/2 tsp sweet smoked paprika, mix together, coat each piece of cod in the flour mixture

  4. Add the coated pieces of cod into the pan with olive oil, cook for 2 1/2 minutes per side or until fully cooked through, then remove the cod fillets from the pan and cover with foil paper

  5. Using the same pan with the same heat, add in 1 onion thinly sliced and 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced, mix with the olive oil, after 5 minutes and the onions are translucent, add in 2 medium sized potatoes (peeled & washed) that have been cut into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces, along with 1/2 cup white wine and season with sea salt & black pepper, turn up the heat to a medium-high, mix together and cook for a couple minutes

  6. After 3 minutes and the alcohol has cooked off, add in 2 1/2 cups of vegetable broth, or enough to just cover the potatoes, after 16 to 18 minutes and most of the broth has been absorbed by the potatoes, but there is still some broth left, add in 1/2 cup frozen peas, after another 5 to 7 minutes and there is virtually no broth left, add the cod fillets back into pan, lower the fire to a low-medium heat and simmer for 2 minutes

  7. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, enjoy!

    I just recently found your channel on You Tube. My husband is from Spain and he’s always excited to find new and simple recipes from home. I am making your white fish with potatoes and please right now! I appreciate how you are so specific when it comes to measurements and weight, but it would be great if you would extend that to chopped or sliced veggies like onions, carrots, etc, so that it is 1/4 cup onions or 2 cups sliced carrots, for example, instead of just 1/2 onion or 1 carrot. Also I am using Chardonnay for the white wine in this recipe, but a bit more specificity would be great in this regard, too. Thanks for all your work in developing and sharing this great food tradition!

    Nice dish, very tasty. Easy recipe to follow, which comes together quickly once you have done all the peeling and slicing. Took a cue from your video and served it at the table in the cooking pan so as to not disturb the look of the presentation.

    Once again, looks beautiful, easy and delicious. I especially like the fact that your recipes are for two people because so many that I see on line are for big families. We don’t normally have much fish and I think this recipe will be a good one to try because my spouse doesn’t much go for fish. Thanks so much.
