Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon capers
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 cup pitted and roughly chopped picholine olives
2 teaspoons chopped white anchovy
2 to 3 tablespoons chicken stock or water, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup very finely chopped shallots
Zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped chives, plus more for garnish
12 fingerling potatoes
1 teaspoon pitted and finely chopped nicoise olives
Coarse salt
4 cod fillets (5 ounces each), skin on

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add capers and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, picholine olives, and 1 teaspoon anchovy and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, along with chicken stock or water, and blend on medium speed, adding more chicken stock as necessary until smooth; add mustard and blend to combine. With the blender running, slowly add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and blend until emulsified; set anchovy mixture aside.
  • Place remaining 1 cup olive oil and shallots in a medium skillet over medium heat, whisking shallots constantly until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain shallots and let cool. Transfer cooled shallots to a small bowl and add lemon zest, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1/4 of the fried capers; set aside.
  • Set a steamer basket over a saucepan of boiling water. Place potatoes in steamer basket; cover and steam until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove potatoes from steamer basket and let cool slightly. Peel and discard skins. Place potato flesh in a medium bowl and add nicoise olives, remaining teaspoon anchovy, and 1/2 teaspoon chives; mash together with a fork. Add remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and mash until potatoes are just crushed; season with salt and cover with plastic to keep warm.
  • Fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place fish in a steamer basket, skin side up. Cover and place steamer in skillet. Steam until fish is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Peel skin from fish using a fish spatula, and discard. Lightly coat each fillet with some of the reserved anchovy mixture, then cover with shallot mixture. Divide potato mixture evenly between 4 plates and top each with a fillet. Spoon over any remaining anchovy mixture. Garnish with remaining capers and chives; serve immediately.

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large or 2 medium potatoes, sliced into 5mm-thick rounds (about 280g)
1 onion, thinly sliced (about 160g)
1 tbsp thyme leaves
10g anchovies, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
1 red pepper, quartered, deseeded and sliced
2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped (about 250g)
1 tsp white wine vinegar
½ tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 skinless, boneless cod loins (280g)
25g cheddar, finely grated
250g baby spinach, wilted, to serve

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes and onions in boiling water for 5-7 mins. Drain, then gently mix with the thyme, anchovies and some black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and cook the pepper, covered, for 5 mins. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, bouillon and garlic, and cook for 8-10 mins more, uncovered, until the tomatoes have softened. You don't want this to be too wet, so continue to cook until any excess liquid has evaporated, if necessary.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the cod loins in a shallow ovenproof dish and spoon over the tomato mixture, then the potato and onion mixture, in even layers. Sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 30 mins until the cheese is golden and the fish is flaking but moist. Serve with the spinach on the side.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

BAKED COD WITH OLIVES



Baked Cod with Olives image

The olive topping on our cod was inspired by tapenade; it includes olives, anchovies, capers, olive oil, and lemon juice. Use a ceramic or glass baking dish; an aluminum dish could react with the acidic lemon juice and discolor the fish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, for baking dish
1/2 cup pitted brine-cured Kalamata olives, drained and chopped
2 teaspoons drained capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed, drained, and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus several thinly sliced lemon rounds, halved if large
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus small leaves for garnish
4 center-cut cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces and 1 inch thick each), skinned
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish; set aside. Stir together olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, oil, and oregano in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper; place in baking dish. Scatter olive mixture evenly over fish. Top with lemon slices.
  • Cover dish with foil. Bake until fish is firm, flaky, and cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve drizzled with juices from dish. Garnish with oregano leaves.

Tips:

  • Select the right cod fillets: Look for firm, thick fillets with a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong, fishy smell.
  • Soak the cod in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellows the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to ensure that the cod cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Cook the cod over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the cod with the anchovy-olive oil emulsion: This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the cod with crushed potatoes and a salad: This is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone at the table.

Conclusion:

This recipe for cod with crushed potatoes and anchovy-olive oil emulsion is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked to perfection and the anchovy-olive oil emulsion adds a rich, flavorful sauce. The crushed potatoes are a great addition and help to make the dish more filling.
