Steps:
- Lightly brush fish grill basket with oil (if using), or brush grill rack with oil, and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle fish on both sides with coarse salt and pepper. Place fish in grill basket (if using) or directly on grill rack, skin side down. Grill fish until opaque in center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter; cover to keep warm.
- Heat 6 tablespoons oil in small skillet over high heat. Add garlic and sautéuntil fragrant and light golden, about 1 minute. Add crumbled chile or crushed red pepper; stir 15 seconds. Immediately pour garlic chile oil over fish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
- Ingredient Tip:
- The traditional chile for the garlic sauce is guindilla, a small, elongated, medium-hot Spanish chile that's usually sold dried. This chile may be difficult to find, but ordinary dried crushed red pepper makes an excellent substitute.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality smoked cod and calamari you can find. Fresh, plump calamari will cook up tender and flavorful, while good smoked cod should have a firm texture and a smoky, slightly salty flavor.
- Don't overcook the fish and seafood: Both cod and calamari can quickly become tough and rubbery if overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 3-4 minutes for the cod and 1-2 minutes for the calamari.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce in this recipe is a simple combination of white wine, butter, garlic, and parsley, but you can easily customize it to your taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a spoonful of Dijon mustard for a little extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This dish is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
This bedded smoked cod and calamari dish is a flavorful and elegant seafood entree that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of smoky cod, tender calamari, and flavorful sauce is sure to impress your guests. It's relatively simple to make, and with a little planning, you can have it on the table in under 30 minutes.
