instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.

    3

    In a saucepan, melt 25 grams of butter over medium heat, add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.

    4

    Add the cream to the onions, along with salt, pepper, and thyme, then let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

    5

    In a buttered baking dish (using the remaining butter), layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom.

    6

    Pour half of the cream and onion mixture over the potatoes.

    7

    Place the fish fillet on top, season with salt and pepper, and add the remaining sliced potatoes on top of the fish.

    8

    Pour the rest of the cream mixture over the top and sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.

    9

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

    10

    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

Important Tips
