Best Bacon Wrapped Cod Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED COD

Steps:

• 1. Season the cod all over lightly with salt and pepper. Roll or fold the cod so that it looks like a small roast, and wrap the bacon around it, securing the pieces of bacon with a skewer or toothpick, so the cod is almost completely covered with the bacon (except at the "corners").
• 2. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown it on all sides, which will take about 6 minutes. Cover the skillet and continue cooking the cod until it is cooked through, about 16 minutes, turning it occasionally so it doesn't burn.
• 3. While the cod is cooking, make the sauce. Mince together the parsley and the shallot and place in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil. Coarsely chop the capers and whisk them into the sauce.
• 4. When the fish is cooked, transfer it to a warmed serving platter and let it sit for about 4 minutes. Remove the skewers or the toothpicks and drain away any liquid that comes from the fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

STUFFED COD WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Soak some toothpicks in water while the grill heats up.
• Spread a thin layer of sesame oil and chili sauce onto one side of each fish fillet. At one end, place some of the leek and a couple of mushrooms. Roll towards the other end. Wrap each roll with a slice of bacon, and secure with two toothpicks.
• Place on the preheated grill, and cook covered for 5 minutes. Be careful of flare-ups from the bacon grease. Turn over, and cook for 5 more minutes, until bacon is crisp and fish flakes easily.

BACON-WRAPPED COD WITH FRISéE

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of grapefruit. Working from top to bottom, cut away peel and white pith with a paring knife. Holding grapefruit over a bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to release segments. Squeeze membrane over bowl to extract juice. Reserve 1/4 cup juice.
• Cut fish into 4 equal pieces and season with salt and pepper. On a work surface, arrange 3 slices bacon so they overlap slightly. Place a piece of fish at one short end and wrap tightly with bacon, trimming off any excess bacon. Repeat with remaining fish and bacon.
• Whisk together mustard, honey, vinegar, and grapefruit juice; season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in oil.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook fish, seam side down, turning occasionally, until bacon is deep golden brown on all sides, and fish is opaque throughout, about 9 minutes. Toss frisée with dressing and grapefruit segments and serve with fish.
