Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

This recipe comes from The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. Just buy the cod and parsley; and you probably have everything else at home. Such a simple fish recipe and it packs a lot of flavor. This is for garlic lovers! Note: if the breadcrumb coating doesn't immediately adhere to the fish, just pat it on. It works great.

POACHED COD WITH PARSLEY SAUCE



Poached Cod with Parsley Sauce image

Creamy parsley sauce -- here, over cod -- is an old English favorite. The herb is stirred in at the end, so it maintains its vibrant flavor and color. This main dish is delicious served with boiled potatoes or rice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 strip lemon peel (3 inches)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/2 cup whole milk
4 cod fillets (5 ounces each), skinned
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fish or vegetable stock
Coarse salt
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add flour; whisk until a paste forms. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking, 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, pour in milk in a slow, steady stream; whisk until incorporated. Whisk in stock. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in parsley and chives.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 quarts water, the lemon peel, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saute pan or other wide straight-sided pan. Place fillets in liquid (do not crowd). Return to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let stand until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Reheat sauce over medium-low heat, if necessary, and add remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Gently lift fillets from liquid with a slotted spatula; place a fillet on each of four plates. Spoon one-quarter of sauce over each serving, and garnish with a parsley sprig.

Tips:

  • Use fresh parsley. Fresh parsley has a more vibrant flavor and color than dried parsley.
  • Chop the parsley finely. Finely chopped parsley will adhere to the cod better and create a more even crust.
  • Use a light touch when coating the cod in the parsley mixture. A heavy hand will result in a thick, clumpy crust that will fall off the fish easily.
  • Cook the cod over medium heat. Medium heat will help to cook the cod evenly without burning it.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the cod from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the cod immediately. Cod is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Parsley crusted cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The parsley crust adds a flavorful and crispy coating to the cod, and the fish cooks quickly and evenly. Serve the cod with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
