Provided by raffterman

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (4 to 5 ounce) pieces black cod, skin on
1/3 cup maple syrup, 75 ml
1/3 cup soy sauce, 75 ml
1 cinnamon stick
1 clove
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUREE
1 butternut squash, halved, seeds removed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 orange, zested
1/2 pound melted butter, 2 sticks
1/2 cup water, possibly more
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place maple syrup, soy sauce, cinnamon stick, and clove into a pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Put the fish in a plastic bag. Pour cooled marinade over fish to cover and gently massage it into the fish. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours, up to overnight. Preheat the oven to 375 ° F/190 °C Clean the butternut squash. Combine cinnamon, salt and brown sugar in a bowl and sprinkle over top of the inside of the squash. Place the squash halves face down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the squash and allow to cool. Remove cod from marinade and pat with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season the fish with salt. Add oil and butter to an oven proof fry pan. Once hot place the fish in skin side up. Cook for 2-4 minutes until you develop a crust on the fish. Remove the fish from the pan temporarily. Drain pan of butter and oil, and place the fish back into the pan, skin side down this time. Place in fish into the oven for approximately 10 min. Allow squash to cool until you can remove the skin comfortably with your fingers. Scoop the flesh into a blender. Add maple syrup and orange zest. Pour in melted butter and blend. Add water as needed to achieve silky consistency. Season to taste. Remove the fish from the oven. It should be firm, but soft and breaking apart slightly. Peel skin off cooked cod and plate on top of butternut squash purée.

ROASTED WINTER SQUASH WITH SEARED COD



Roasted Winter Squash With Seared Cod image

Roasting slices of winter squash with nothing more than butter or oil is very effective. It's a preparation that can form the basis of a main dish (as it does here, with cod) or stand alone, especially when sprinkled with a dusting of a good spice mixture.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds winter squash (preferably butternut) or sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds cod fillet, in 2 or 4 pieces
Flour for dusting
2 tablespoons balsamic or sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt half the butter in a small saucepan.
  • Put 2 tablespoons melted butter in a roasting pan and arrange squash slices in one layer on it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter on top. Roast without turning for 20 to 30 minutes, or until squash is tender; keep warm while you finish fish.
  • About 5 minutes before squash is done, put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add 2 tablespoons butter. Dredge cod pieces lightly in flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and turn heat to high; cook, turning only once, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through (a thin-bladed knife will meet little or no resistance when fish is done).
  • Arrange squash slices on a platter, then top with fish. Add remaining butter to skillet over medium heat; when it sizzles and browns, add vinegar and cook for 10 to 20 seconds more. Pour over all and serve immediately.

Cod With Miso-Butternut Squash Sauce image

Mild, flaky cod gets an ideal counterpart in this silky-creamy miso-butternut squash sauce flavored with ginger and topped with lemon, cilantro, and chili crisp.

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp. raw sesame oil or vegetable oil
1 medium shallot, sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
¼ cup white miso
1 (2-lb.) butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeds removed, cut into 1" pieces
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (optional)
2 lb. skinless, boneless cod fillet, cut into 4" pieces
Kosher salt
Juice of ½ lemon
Steamed rice, cilantro leaves with tender stems, chili crisp (such as Lao Gan Ma), and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook shallot, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add squash, salt, maple syrup (if using), and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pot. Cook until squash is very tender, 20-25 minutes.
  • Carefully purée squash and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully use a standard blender and work in 2 batches, keeping a towel over the lid and transferring to a medium bowl as you go.) Do ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
  • Bring squash purée to a simmer over medium heat (return to same pot if you puréed in a standard blender). Season cod lightly with salt. Reduce heat to low and place cod in sauce (it should be completely covered). Cover pot and cook cod, turning over halfway through, until fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, 15-17 minutes. Remove pot from heat and gently stir lemon juice into sauce.
  • Divide rice among bowls and ladle cod and sauce over. Top with cilantro and serve with chili crisp and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
