Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Two 4-ounce portions skinless cod fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons pink peppercorns
6 to 8 cups mild-flavored olive oil
3/4 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns
Kosher salt
1 avocado, ripe but firm, peeled, pitted and diced
2 radishes, thinly sliced into rounds
1/2 shallot, thinly sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons canned teardrop peppers, drained and halved
Kosher salt
Splash champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
1/4 cup French fried onions, crushed

Steps:

  • For the poached cod: Pat the cod dry with a paper towel, sprinkle it with salt and black pepper and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a deep medium nonstick or enamel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coriander seeds and pink peppercorns and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly add the olive oil and bring the oil to 180 degrees F. Carefully add the cod to the oil. The cod should be fully submerged; if it's not, gently flip the fillets halfway through cooking, or add more oil to the skillet. Cook until the cod is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the dressing: Combine the creme fraiche, buttermilk, vinegar, cilantro and peppercorns in a blender and puree. Add salt to taste.
  • For the avocado salad: Combine the avocado, radishes, shallot and teardrop peppers in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a splash of champagne vinegar and toss gently; stir in the cilantro.
  • Using a fish spatula, transfer the cod to a paper towel-lined plate. Place 1 piece of cod in the center of each of serving plates. Tuck the avocado salad next to the cod. Drizzle the salad with dressing and top with the crushed fried onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod possible. Fresh cod will have a firm, white flesh and a mild, briny flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the best flavor and will give your dish a rich, golden color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the cod will not cook evenly and will be more likely to fall apart.
  • Cook the cod gently. Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it over low heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Season the cod with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Serve the cod with a simple green sauce. A green sauce made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice is a great way to complement the delicate flavor of the cod.

Conclusion:

Olive oil poached cod with green pepper puree is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked gently in olive oil, which infuses it with a rich, golden color and a mild, briny flavor. The green pepper puree adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
