Roast Cod with Leeks, Plum Tomatoes, and Wilted Spinach image

Thick, meaty cuts of fish, like cod, are best for roasting because they hold up well in the heat of the oven.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, with juices
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 pounds leeks, trimmed, cut across into 3/4-inch rings, and washed
2 pounds plum tomatoes, quartered into wedges
6 five to six-ounce cod fillets, or steaks, skin on, 1 to 1 1/4 inches at thickest point
Salt to taste
1 pound fresh spinach, well washed
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees with two racks centered. Spray two 12-by-14-inch roasting or jelly-roll pans with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Arrange leeks and tomatoes in one pan, and cod (if using fillets, place skin-side down) in the second pan. Brush all liberally with ginger marinade. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes. Turn vegetables with a spatula for even browning; brush all again with marinade. Continue to cook until cod is opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer cod to a serving plate; keep warm. Continue to cook tomatoes and leeks until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add spinach to pan; cook just long enough to wilt, about 5 minutes. To serve, arrange spinach on each plate. Add 1 cod fillet; divide tomato-leek mixture evenly between plates. Serve hot.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Cod     Poach     Dinner     Healthy     Fish     Milk/Cream     Potato     Leek     Garlic     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium leeks, white and pale-greens parts only, halved lengthwise, with some root attached
4 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves, smashed
3 cups whole milk
4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover by 1"; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Return potatoes to pot; add 2 Tbsp. cooking liquid and 2 Tbsp. oil and lightly mash. Season with salt. Keep potatoes warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  • Combine leeks, thyme, garlic, and milk in a medium wide saucepan. Season generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until leeks are just beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes. Gently slide cod into infused milk and poach until flesh is cooked through and beginning to flake, 7-9 minutes (adjust heat as needed to maintain a low simmer; thicker pieces of fish will take longer to cook).
  • Divide warm potatoes, leeks, and cod among shallow bowls. Spoon some poaching liquid over each. Drizzle with oil; season with pepper.

COD WITH LEEKS AND TOMATOES



Cod with Leeks and Tomatoes image

Categories     Tomato     Side     Bake     Cod     Leek

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced, rinsed well, and patted dry
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 sprigs thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
2 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 12 ounces)
4 cod fillets, each 6 to 8 ounces and 3/4 to 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together the leeks, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover with foil, and bake until the leeks just begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the tomatoes, and toss to combine. Season both sides of the cod fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; place on top of the vegetables.
  • Cover the dish and bake until the fish is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • Preparing the Leeks
  • First cut away and discard the leek's root and dark-green leaves, then thinly slice the white and light-green parts crosswise into rounds. Wash the leek rounds well, as described on page 23. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod should be firm and white, with no fishy smell.
  • Soak the cod in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any fishy flavor and make the cod more tender.
  • Don't overcook the cod. Cod is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your dish. This will add flavor and color to your meal. Some good choices include leeks, tomatoes, onions, and peppers.
  • Season your dish to taste. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the cod with your favorite sides. Some good choices include rice, potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cod with leeks and tomatoes is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you are looking for a healthy and easy fish recipe, give this one a try!
