Curried butter-baked cod with cauliflower & chickpeas image

Deliver big flavours with this aromatic cod traybake. Serve from the dish with spiced spinach alongside

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 garlic cloves
large piece of ginger, peeled
1 red chilli, sliced
1 tbsp curry powder of your choice (we used madras)
2 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry
100g butter, softened
500-600g chunky white fish (such as cod, hake or pollock), cut into 4 equal chunks
400g spinach
handful of coriander, leaves picked and roughly chopped
large pinch of garam masala

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the cauliflower in a large, shallow roasting tin with the cumin seeds, turmeric, some seasoning and half the oil until the cauliflower is coated and bright yellow. Roast for 15 mins, tossing a few times, until starting to char.
  • Meanwhile, peel the garlic, then put in a small food processor with the ginger, half the red chilli, the curry powder and some seasoning. Blitz to a paste. Stir the chickpeas, half the spice paste and most of the remaining oil through the cauliflower. Roast for 20 mins more, stirring once or twice.
  • While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, mix the softened butter with the rest of the spice paste, and spread half all over the fish. When the cauliflower and chickpeas are ready, remove the pan from the oven and make four gaps in the mixture. Nestle the fish in the gaps, and dot all but 1 tbsp of the remaining spiced butter over the veg. Roast for 10-15 mins more.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over a high heat until very hot, then cook the spinach for 3-4 mins until wilted. Add the reserved 1 tbsp spiced butter and continue to cook for 1-2 mins more. Set aside until the fish is just cooked through, then sprinkle the coriander, garam masala and remaining red chilli over the traybake. Serve the traybake in the middle of the table with the spinach in a bowl alongside for everyone to help themselves.

STEAMED COD WITH CAULIFLOWER AND SAFFRON



Steamed Cod with Cauliflower and Saffron image

Categories     Sauté     Steam     Cod     Mussel     Saffron     Cauliflower     White Wine     Healthy     Simmer     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large pinch of saffron threads, crumbled
1 cup lukewarm water
1 2-pound head cauliflower
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1/3 cup)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 pounds small to medium mussels (preferably cultivated; 3 dozen), scrubbed and beards removed
6 1/4-pound pieces cod or scrod fillet (1 inch thick), skinned and pin bones removed
3 scallions, chopped (2/3 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put saffron threads in a small bowl, then stir in lukewarm water and let stand.
  • Trim cauliflower stalk flush with base of crown, discarding stalk, then quarter cauliflower lengthwise. Cut each quarter lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Set aside large slices and reserve small pieces without any stem for another use.
  • Swirl oil with garlic in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet to coat, then heat over moderately high heat until oil is just smoking. Discard garlic. Carefully arrange cauliflower slices in 1 layer in skillet and cook until undersides are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn over with tongs and cook until other sides are lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Add carrot and wine and swirl skillet to combine, then boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add saffron water, broth, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and simmer, covered, until cauliflower and carrot are crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • While cauliflower simmers, pat fish dry and sprinkle both sides with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  • Increase heat to moderately high, then add mussels to skillet and steam, covered, until mussels just open wide, checking frequently after 3 to 4 minutes. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 8 minutes.) Divide mussels among 6 shallow serving bowls using a slotted spoon.
  • Place cod on top of cauliflower, arranging fillets in 1 layer. Sprinkle with scallions and parsley and steam, covered, over moderately high heat until fish is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer some of cauliflower along with 1 piece of cod to each bowl using slotted spoon. Season broth with salt and white pepper, then ladle broth (with carrots) over each serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cod fillets cook evenly, make sure they are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to slice thicker portions of the fillet.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels before searing them. This will help to prevent the fish from steaming and ensure a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the cod fillets. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly and may become soggy.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to sear the cod fillets. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the cod fillets over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with the asparagus and mashed cauliflower.

Conclusion:

This recipe for cod with asparagus and mashed cauliflower is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy cod. The fish is seared until golden brown and crispy, and the asparagus and mashed cauliflower provide a light and flavorful accompaniment. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
