Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) codfish fillets, skins removed
- Essence, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted Irish butter
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Lakeshore Strong Irish Mustard or Colman's English mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic, or spring onions
- 6 ounces Irish cheese, such as Dubliner, Coolea, or Carrigaline, or Irish cheddar such as Kerrygold Vintage, grated
- 1 cup heavy Irish cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish and set aside.
Lightly season the codfish on both sides with Essence and place in the prepared dish, skin side down.
In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, butter, parsley, mustard, and garlic, and mix well. Add the cheese and mix well. Place on the fish, patting down to make a crust. Pour the cream over the fish and bake until the fish is cooked through, golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve.

This was the most delicious fish recipe EVER! I did, however, make a few substitutions. First, I actually used haddock instead of the cod. Since I have a very picky 12 year old who hates the taste of mustard, instead of the English mustard I used honey mustard. I could not find heavy Irish cream so just used regular heavy cream. This still tasted absolutely fabulous! I had never tasted Irish cheddar but found it to be very delicious, in and out of the dish. Thanks Emeril, for a dish my son and I both adore and will be eating often!
