Ingredients

2 pounds cod fillets
3 tablespoons margarine
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x12 inch baking dish. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then add the cod fillets and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the water completely.
In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine. Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the flour and milk until smooth. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat, and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Flake the cooked cod into the prepared baking dish, creating alternating layers with the creamy white sauce. Sprinkle the top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and nicely browned.
