👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.
💡 专业技巧: If using frozen cod, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry. - 3
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Do not let it brown.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Gradually whisk in the warm milk, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is incorporated before adding more. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened.

Remove sauce from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
💡 专业技巧: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. - 6
Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the cod fillets in the baking dish.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the sauce covers the fish completely. - 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs (if using) over the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 9
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
💡 专业技巧: Serve hot with a side of boiled potatoes or a simple green salad.
