Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil (for grill)
2 serrano chiles
2 garlic cloves
1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. honey
2 (12-oz.) bone-in salmon steaks
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove and discard seeds from 1 chile. Purée both chiles, garlic, cilantro, yogurt, oil, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until smooth; season well with salt. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
  • Season salmon steaks lightly with salt. Grill, turning once or twice, until flesh is starting to turn opaque, about 4 minutes. Continue to grill, turning often and basting with remaining sauce, until opaque all the way through, about 4 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.

COD FILLETS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE



Cod Fillets With Cilantro Yogurt Sauce image

This cooling herbed yogurt sauce is adapted from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi in London, who serves it with leek fritters. But it's wonderful with mild fish like cod. The fish, while delicious, is utterly simple: fillets baked in a 300-degree oven until opaque, 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pieces. It is the sauce that is the star, and that comes together quickly in a food processor. Combine roughly chopped cilantro and parsley, garlic that has been mashed to a paste, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and yogurt. (Whole-milk yogurt would be best for body and flavor, while low-fat is O.K., and nonfat untenable.) Process until the mixture is smooth and green. There will be sauce left over, which you can use on yet more fish, or as a dip for vegetables or fritters, anything that would thrive when dunked in the refreshing, herb-graced sauce.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (you'll have sauce left over)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cilantro leaves (some stems are O.K. - you don't have to pick off each leaf the way you do with parsley)
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or whole)
1 1/2 pounds Alaskan cod fillets
Lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, coarsely chop the cilantro and the parsley leaves. In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt. Place the cilantro and parsley in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely chopped. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, about 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and the yogurt and process until the mixture is smooth and green. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish from the oven, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
