Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets, 4-6 ounces each
• 1½ cups whole milk
• 2 shallots, sliced
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 pound red baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• ¼ cup chives
• 1 ounce arugula
• pinch of salt
• pinch of cracked black pepper
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Tomato and thyme vinaigrette:

• 5 ounces plum tomatoes
• ½ teaspoon thyme
• 1½ cups tomato juice
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 2 pinches of salt
• 1 pinch of cracked black pepper

Directions:
For the vinaigrette, add all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. 

Strain, and season to taste, and put aside.

Rub the cod fillets with salt and set aside for 25 minutes. 

Place the potatoes in a pot, bring to a simmer and cook until tender. 

When potatoes are done, drain away the water, and place potatoes in a bowl. 

While still warm, crush the potatoes in the bowl, add the melted butter, salt, and the chopped chives.

Run cod under cold water to rinse all the salt off. 

Place cod in a large saucepan with the cold milk, thyme, crushed garlic, sliced shallots and bay leaves.

Bring to a simmer, cook for four minutes, remove and place on plate for serving.

Place the potato just off the middle of the plate, place the cod on top and spoon over the dressing. 

Dress the rocket with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and add place beside the cod.
