Step by Step Method
Step 1
Pat cod dry. Place a sage leaf in the center of the top of each fillet piece. Wrap a slice of ham around the fish, leaving sides uncovered, and stick a toothpick into the ham at the point where it meets to hold it in place. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Step 2
Wash, dry, and core cabbage, keeping it in one piece. Lay the cabbage, cut side down on a clean, flat work surface. Using a very sharp knife, slice the cabbage lengthwise, into very fine shavings. Set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely dice onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for about 4 minutes, or until slightly brown. Add the cabbage and the coriander and toss to coat. Lower heat and saute for about 5 minutes, or until just softened. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in parsley. Remove from heat. Partially cover and keep warm.
Step 4
Remove cod from refrigerator. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until hot but not smoking in a large, nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Lightly dust wrapped fish with flour and cracked pepper. Lay the cod in the pan, top down. Sear for 3 minutes. Turn and sear on other side for 2 minutes, or until just done in the center. Using a slotted spatula, remove to a warm platter. Place a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil over the top to keep warm.
Step 5
Add the wine, carrot, and lemon zest and juice to the same saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes, or until pan is almost dry. Add the stock and butter. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in minced sage and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Place equal portions of cabbage in the center of each of warm dinner plates. Set a piece of cod in the center of each, carefully removing the toothpick. Return sauce to high heat and quickly bring to a boil. Remove from heat and spoon equal portions over the top of each piece of cod. Serve immediately.
