SOY-GLAZED BLACK COD RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Soy-Glazed Black Cod Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by sidecars

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 black cod fillets, each about 3 oz.
3 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. rice vinegar
1 Tbs. mirin
1 Tbs. sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 oz. ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
4 green onions, white and light green portions, thinly sliced
12 oz. bok choy, quartered lengthwise
8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
3 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Place the cod in a single layer in a baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes and half of the green onions. Pour over the cod, ensuring that the fillets are evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Position a rack in the lower rung of a Cuisinart steam oven. Remove the cod from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Lay the fillets in the baking tray of the steam oven and nestle the bok choy in between. Pour the marinade over the top. In a bowl, stir together the mushrooms, vegetable oil and the remaining green onions. Sprinkle on top of the fish and bok choy. Transfer the tray to the oven. Turn the oven to the bake/steam setting at 450°F according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bake until the cod is opaque and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the cod to a warmed platter and cover with aluminum foil. Return the bok choy and mushrooms to the oven and turn the oven to the broil setting at 500°F. Broil until the bok choy is lightly browned on top and the mushrooms are crispy, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the bok choy and mushrooms to the platter with the cod. Serve immediately with rice.

COD WITH PARMESAN SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cod with Parmesan Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by CarlaKay

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Parmesan Bechamel
5 Tablespoons room temperature butter, unsalted
1/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup (or maybe 3/4 cup) Parmesan cheese, grated
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
For the Cod
1 (750 ml) bottle of white wine (I usually prefer to cook with Sauvingnon Blanc)
2 cups water
4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, diced into 1/4 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Spray an 8 x 8 glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. To make the bechamel sauce: In a medium size saucepan, meltl the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and wisk until smooth, at which point you will have a rue. Do not let it darken as you will want it to stay white. (A bechamel sauce is a white sauce.) Slowly add your warmed milk to the rue, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and thickens. Remove from heat and add the cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Set aside. To make the Cod: In a large deep sided skillet, over medium-high heat bring the wine and the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cod. Cover and cook until the fish is opaque. Remove the fish to the glass baking dish in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Preheat the broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the top of fish. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Top with butter and broil until golden brown.

Crunchy Oven-Fried Fish Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large slices white sandwich bread , torn into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 small shallot , minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup plus 5 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (optional)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 1/4 pounds skinless cod fillet , or haddock fillet, or other thick white fish fillet (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick), cut into 4 pieces (see note)
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse bread, melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in food processor until bread is coarsely ground, eight 1-second pulses (you should have about 3 1/2 cups crumbs). Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. Cool crumbs to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Transfer crumbs to pie plate; toss with parsley and shallot. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Place 1/4 cup flour in second pie plate. In third pie plate, whisk eggs, horseradish (if using), mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until combined; whisk in remaining 5 tablespoons flour until smooth. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Dry fish thoroughly with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge 1 fillet in flour; shake off excess. Using hands, coat with egg mixture. Coat all sides of fillet with bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to fish. Transfer breaded fish to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets. Bake fish until instant-read thermometer inserted into centers of fillets registers 140 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes. Using thin spatula, transfer fillets to individual plates and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
