BROILED COD WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Steam the celery root and the potatoes until they are tender. When they are cooked, mash them with a fork or potato masher, season them with salt and pepper and one tablespoon butter and keep them warm.
• Meanwhile, saute the carrot and leek in one tablespoon butter until they are soft. Add the fish stock and reduce to one-fourth of a cup. Stir in the remaining butter, cut in small pieces, and the mustard. The sauce can be finished while the next step is started or made beforehand and kept warm.
• Remove any bones from the cod. Brush the cod with the oil and season it with salt and pepper. Broil it about four inches from the heat on a sheet of foil and turn it once. It is done when the flesh is white and opaque (about eight minutes). Be careful not to over cook it.
• Put the cod on a serving platter and spoon the sauce over it. Sprinkle with taragon or parsley and serve.

• Preheat the broiler. Place the fish under the broiler just until browned, about 45 seconds. Divide the fillets among 4 plates and serve immediately.
