Newfie food: Cod au gratin


I absolutely love the cod au gratin dish. Cod au gratin is a cod casserole topped with grated cheese. Gratin, or gratinée is French for any dish served with a béchamel sauce made of whisked milk and flour, grated cheese or bread crumbs and then baked in the oven until the top is crispy. The shallow-oval dish in the photo is a typical gratin dish where the design allows for a larger surface area of the meal to be browned in the oven to create a crispy texture.
