Categories     Main Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound cod fillets ((4 fillets))
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic ((minced))
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh parsley ((minced))

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler on the oven. Pat the cod with a paper towel, then season both sides with the salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a cast iron or oven-proof skillet that is no bigger than 12 inches. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
  • Place the cod fillets in the pan and cook for 1 minute, then carefully turn them over.
  • Place the skillet in the oven about 4-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the internal temperature of the cod reaches 130-140°F on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion of a fillet.
  • Garnish with the parsley and extra lemon slices, if desired, and serve.

BROILED FISH WITH LEMON CURRY BUTTER



Broiled Fish With Lemon Curry Butter image

Broiled fish fillets topped with a little butter and a squirt of lemon is a quick, easy weeknight staple. But when the butter is spiked with plenty of garlic, a jolt of curry powder and piquant fresh ginger, then brightened with fresh herbs, it becomes a superb, company-worthy dish that still cooks in under 10 minutes flat. Use your favorite fish here; any mild fillet will allow the buttery sauce to shine.

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

Baked Puffy Fish Tacos image

I'm showing you how to make amazing, puffy tacos baked in the oven. These are very easy, and I think, the best way to make fish tacos, as you get crispiness in every bite.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Mexican Fish Tacos

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1 pinch salt
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
¾ pound rockfish
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 cups very thinly sliced green cabbage
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 pinch dried Mexican oregano
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons thinly sliced radishes
1 tablespoon thinly sliced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons torn cilantro leaves
1 medium lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle powder, salt, hot sauce, and lime juice for sauce in a bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Cut fish into eight 1 ½-inch pieces.
  • Transfer fish to a bowl; add olive oil, salt, cumin, chipotle pepper, and chili powder. Toss with tongs, thoroughly but gently, until coated.
  • Let fish marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss cabbage, salt, lime juice, and dried oregano together in a bowl with your hands until coated.
  • Place 2 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and coat lightly on both sides with some olive oil. Place 3 ounces of sliced fish on each tortilla, on only one side so that you can fold the tacos after baking.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and tortillas are browned and puffy, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Fold tacos in the center of each tortilla to crease. Top with cabbage, followed by jalapenos, radishes, and sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over. Repeat for remaining 2 tacos.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: For best results, use a firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, halibut, or cod. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or flounder, as they tend to fall apart when broiled.
  • Season & Marinate: Before broiling, season the fish with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can also marinate the fish for 30 minutes to an hour to infuse it with additional flavor.
  • Use High Heat: Broil the fish on high heat for a short time to achieve a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Watch the Fish Closely: Keep a close eye on the fish while it's broiling to prevent it from overcooking. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets or steaks.
  • Garnish & Serve: Garnish the broiled fish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Broiled fish is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy fish. By following these simple tips, you can achieve perfectly cooked broiled fish every time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, broiled fish is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by all.
