Cod Mornay

What is it?

Cod fillet comes in a classic Mornay sauce, a white sauce enriched with cheese and usually a little mustard or nutmeg. In this frozen meal, the fish is paired with a creamy sauce that bakes from frozen. Prepared-meal approach keeps the fish and sauce portioned together rather than separated. It's a straightforward seafood main, closer to a comfort food fish bake than to a plain fillet with sauce on the side. Cheese in the Mornay gives it a savoury depth that you won't get from a simple butter or parsley sauce, and the mustard adds just enough sharpness to keep things interesting. Serve it alongside steamed vegetables or new potatoes for a complete meal.
