Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half a 17-ounce package), thawed

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 large leek (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup soft garlic-herb cheese (such as Boursin)

2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 1/4 pounds cod fillet, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

1 large head Boston or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Cut out four 5-inch rounds using a 5-inch bowl or ramekin as a guide. Place the pastry rounds on an unlined baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the garlic-herb cheese, 2 teaspoons mustard, the lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  3. Season the cod with salt and stir into the skillet. Simmer gently until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in half the herbs.
  4. Whisk the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon mustard and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Add the lettuce and remaining herbs; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide the cod mixture among shallow bowls; top each with a round of puff pastry. Serve with the salad.

I liked this more than my husband, so I ate the leftovers of which there was little. I cut out the 5-inch circles of pastry from the sheet, gathered the rest of the dough to make a fifth circle and cut that into quarters to fit around the larger circles on the baking sheet so no pastry would go to waste (it didn't).
