This is a traditional Norwegian dish called Kokt Torsk. The cod is gently simmered in a seasoned broth to keep it tender and intact. It is then served on a platter, often accompanied by boiled potatoes and carrots. You can top the finished fish with a parsley and margarine mixture or a classic hollandaise sauce. The entire process takes about 20 minutes to complete for six servings.
