Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, (4-6 pieces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
  • Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
  • To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
  • Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

POACHED COD WITH LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE



Poached Cod With Lemon-Parsley Sauce image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 cups water
6 pieces codfish, preferably the thick, back fillets (about 1 3/4 pounds total, each 4 to 5 ounces and 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Mix the lemon-parsley sauce ingredients together thoroughly in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • At serving time, bring the 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Holding the fish fillets with a slotted spoon or skimmer, lower them individually into the pan, and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, and poach the fish, cooking the pieces at a very light boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are barely cooked through.
  • Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, lift the fish from the water, drain thoroughly, and arrange one fillet on each of six warm plates. Press the fish lightly with a spatula or fork to make it separate a little into flakes, which will permit the sauce to be absorbed and to penetrate the interior of the fish.
  • Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality salt cod: Look for salt cod that is firm and has a light, even color. Avoid any pieces that are too dry or have a strong odor.
  • Soak the salt cod properly: The key to tender, flavorful salt cod is to soak it properly. Rinse the salt cod under cold water, then place it in a large bowl or container. Cover the salt cod with cold water and let it soak for 24-36 hours, changing the water every 8-12 hours.
  • Flake the salt cod gently: Once the salt cod is soaked, gently flake it into small pieces. Be careful not to break up the salt cod too much.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use in the garlic oil sauce is important, so choose a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Cook the salt cod gently: Salt cod is a delicate fish, so cook it gently over low heat. This will help to prevent the salt cod from becoming tough or dry.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, add a bright, flavorful touch to the salt cod dish. Garnish the salt cod with fresh herbs before serving.

Conclusion:

Salt cod with garlic oil, lemon, and parsley sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it as a main course, appetizer, or salad, this dish is sure to please. The delicate flavor of the salt cod is perfectly complemented by the bright, flavorful sauce.
