Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Good olive oil
4 center-cut boneless, skinless cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs (15 crackers; see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9 x 9-inch ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold the fish) and tilt the dish to coat the bottom with oil. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn to coat both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Set aside.
  • Remove the fish from the oven and pour the wine and lemon juice directly on the fillets. Pat the crumb mixture evenly onto the fillets, pressing gently to help them adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
  • Return the pan to the oven for 12 minutes, until the fillets are just cooked through in the center, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices and lemon wedges.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g cooking chorizo , skin removed, cut into chunks
50g slightly stale breadcrumb
25g blanched almond , toasted and roughly chopped
zest ½ lemon
1 ½ tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
6 boneless, skinless sustainable cod fillets (about 175g each)
6 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise
½ garlic clove , crushed
2 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat until it releases its oil and becomes crisp in places. Meanwhile, make the aïoli: stir together the ingredients with some seasoning, then chill.
  • Put the chorizo and its oil in a food processor and pulse until broken into small chunks. Add the breadcrumbs, almonds, lemon zest, seasoning and half the olive oil, then blitz to a crumb.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cod fillets on a lightly greased baking tray, then brush with the remaining oil. Heap the crumbs onto the fish and pat down so that the fillets are well covered. Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 mins.
  • When you're ready to cook, pop the fish in the oven for 10-15 mins, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the flesh has turned opaque and the chorizo crumb is golden.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crumb topping, use a combination of fresh and dry breadcrumbs. The fresh breadcrumbs will add moisture, while the dry breadcrumbs will help to crisp up the topping.
  • If you don't have any fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. However, fresh parsley will give the dish a more vibrant flavor.
  • To make the dish even more flavorful, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the crumb topping.
  • If you're using frozen cod, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. You can thaw the cod in the refrigerator overnight, or you can thaw it in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Don't overcook the cod, or it will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the cod with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This cod with Italian crumb topping is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The crispy crumb topping adds a flavorful crust to the cod, while the moist and flaky fish cooks to perfection. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
