Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 lbs. cod fish (thawed)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter (melted)
3/4 cup gluten free Panko breadcrumbs (or regular Panko breadcrumbs if not GF)
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. kosher salt (split)
1/2 tsp. pepper (split)
1 lemon (zest and juice)

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour 2 Tbsp. olive oil onto a large baking sheet and spread the oil evenly over the surface of the pan.
Completely thaw 2 lbs. of cod fish fillets (if frozen). Once the fish is thawed, pat both sides dry with paper towels. It's important that the fish is patted dry, so that it doesn't become soggy when baked.
Place the cod fillets on the oiled baking sheet, making sure there is a little room between each one. Measure 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard into a small dish and baste the mustard onto one side of the cod fillets using a basting brush or spread the mustard onto them using the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and pepper over the top of the fish fillets.
Melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter. Pour 3/4 gluten free Panko breadcrumbs (or regular Panko breadcrumbs if not gluten free) into a small bowl. Add 2 tsp. each garlic powder and paprika, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and pepper. Stir until the butter is completely incorporated into the breadcrumb mixture.
Spoon a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each cod fillet and press the breadcrumbs down onto the fish using the back of a spoon. It's fine if some of the breadcrumbs spill out onto the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the cod has cooked through.Baking times may vary depending on the thickness of your cod fillets. The best way to tell if cod has finished cooking is to check the internal temperature using a food thermometer. Stick the food thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. The safe internal temperature for cod is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.The cod is done when it is white, flaky, and the breadcrumb topping golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve.
To Serve: Use a Microplane to zest 1 lemon over the top of the baked cod. Cut the lemon into wedges and squeeze over the top of the fish.

Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter image

A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 5- to 6-ounce fish fillets, like black bass, haddock, fluke, striped bass, tilefish, snapper or salmon, 1/2- to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme, tarragon, chives or another herb
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
Lemon wedges

Steps:

Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, left whole with skin on
200 g carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
200 g courgettes, sliced
2 sweet red peppers, sliced into strips
2 small red onions, peeled and cut into quarters
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cod fish fillets
salt & freshly ground black pepper
parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

Serve the cod with the roasted vegetables, sprinkled with torn parsley.
You may also enjoy a bit of mayonnaise on the side.

Tips:

Choose the Freshest Cod: Select firm, plump cod fillets with a mild, sweet aroma. Fresh cod should have a pearly white or slightly pinkish color.
Enhance Flavors with Herbs: Use a variety of fresh or dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, oregano, and parsley to create a flavorful crust on the cod. These herbs complement the delicate taste of the fish and add a vibrant aroma.
Use Quality Olive Oil: High-quality extra virgin olive oil adds a rich, nutty flavor to the roasted cod. It also helps the herbs and breadcrumbs adhere to the fish.
Don't Overcook the Cod: Cod cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Aim for an internal temperature of 135-140°F (57-60°C) to ensure a moist and tender texture.
Serve with Simple Sides: Roasted cod pairs well with simple sides like steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh, crisp salad. This allows the delicate flavor of the cod to shine.
