Time P1DT1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces dried salted cod fish
vegetable oil for frying
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into very small cubes
½ cup olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup hot milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup heavy cream
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the potatoes in the hot oil until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven or heat-proof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cod and cook another 3 minutes; stir the potatoes into the mixture and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon peeled and crushed ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch, plus 1 tablespoon water, for slurry
4 (6-ounce) codfish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Canola oil
8 large scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1 small chile pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1 pound mussels
Chervil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the teriyaki sauce: In a medium saucepan over high heat, add the soy sauce, mirin, water, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine and bring it to a boil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry and add it to the boiling mixture. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
  • Season the codfish with salt and pepper, to taste. Dust the fillets lightly with flour, shaking off any excess. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a thin layer of oil. When the oil is hot, add the codfish and cook until it's browned on both sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm. Cook the scallions in the same pan, adding more oil if necessary, until they are browned and have softened slightly.
  • Heat another saucepan over medium-high heat, add a thin layer of oil, and cook the ginger and chile pepper until they are softened, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the white wine and cook until it has almost evaporated. Stir in the heavy cream and reduce it by half. Pour in a 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce. Add the mussels, cover, and cook until the mussels have opened, about 5 minutes.
  • Put 2 scallions on each serving plate and arrange a piece of fish on top. Add a few mussels and spoon over some of the cream sauce. Drizzle each plate with extra teriyaki sauce and garnish with chervil leaves.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup Gruyere or Swiss cheese cut in small cubes
1 egg yolk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pound fresh spinach
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
4 boneless, skinless codfish steaks, about 6 ounces each
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir with a wire whisk until blended.
  • Add the milk and cream all at once. Stir rapidly with the whisk. Bring to a boil and add the Gruyere cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted. Add the egg yolk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Simmer, stirring, for 1 minute. Set aside, cover and keep warm.
  • Pick over spinach and discard any tough stems. Wash spinach thoroughly to remove any sand. Put spinach in a large saucepan, add salt and cook over high heat, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain well and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Grease a metal baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Scatter the shallots over the dish. Neatly arrange the pieces of codfish over the shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine, cover with foil and bring to a boil on top of the stove. Put the dish in the oven and bake 5 minutes.
  • Select a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the bottom of the dish. Spoon the spinach over the bottom and carefully transfer the cooked codfish over the spinach, reserving the wine liquid in the first dish.
  • Reduce by half the wine liquid in the metal baking dish and add it to the cheese sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring with a wire whisk.
  • Spoon the hot sauce over the fish, smoothing it over to cover the fish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Turn on the broiler unit and put the dish under the broiler with the door open until nicely browned and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh codfish. Fresh codfish has a mild, sweet flavor and flaky texture. If you're using frozen codfish, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the codfish well. Codfish is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the codfish gently. Codfish is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Cook it over low heat or in a warm oven until it's just cooked through. Overcooking will make the codfish tough and dry.
  • Serve the codfish with a creamy sauce. Codfish pairs well with a variety of creamy sauces, such as a béchamel sauce, a velouté sauce, or a cream sauce. You can also serve it with a simple lemon butter sauce.
