Ingredients:

1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups (480 ml) fish stock
2 medium carrots, peeled into strips (with a vegetable peeler)
¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream
¾ cup (180 ml) crème fraîche
1 ½ teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 pound (450 g) boneless cod filet, cut into bite-size pieces
Coarsely ground pepper, to taste

Recipe:

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.

Pour in the fish stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat slightly and reduce to a simmer. Add in the carrot strips and cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the heavy cream, crème fraîche, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Add the cod pieces and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cod is cooked through.
