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.

Wow! We absolutely loved the flavor imparted by the prosciutto-wrapped sage. The cabbage was tasty, though the savoy was hard to find and the one we finally bought was slightly old. Next time, will probably sub Napa cabbage. Regardless, the cod and the sauce topping was amazing, and will definitely be a repeat in our home. It's a company worthy dish, and not too hard to put together. Thanks for sharing!
