Quick and good. Great to throw in the oven after a long day. I use DiB's recipe for Old Bay Seasoning #15562.

AFGHANI MEAT AND FISH SPICE RUB



Afghani Meat and Fish Spice Rub image

This combination is good on any fish or any meat of your choosing. It was developed by an Afghan street vendor in NYC, Zvia. He rubs the blend all over beef, pork, or chicken 2 hours before grilling. He also likes it on tuna, swordfish, bluefish, and bass. It will give you a blackened effect. It is also delicious stirred into rice or soup.

COD WITH AFGHAN SPICES



Cod With Afghan Spices image

This mixture of spices makes cod- the whitest of fish-taste almost exotic.

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 fresh cod steaks (each 1" thick and 8 ounces) or 4 cod fillets (each 6 ounces)
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 piece (1") fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
1 to 2 serrano chiles or jalapenños, seeded, chopped (leave the seeds in for more heat)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Coarse salt (kosher or sea)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Rinse cod under cold water, pat dry with paper towels; place in a nonreactive baking dish.
  • Make marinade: Combine onion, garlic, ginger, chiles, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, coriander, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a blender. Add 2 tablespoons water and purée until smooth, adding more water as necessary to thin. Pour marinade over cod, turning fish once or twice to coat it evenly. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours and up to 8, turning once or twice to marinate evenly.
  • Make basting mixture: Mix together red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl.
  • Prepare grill for direct cooking on high heat.
  • Brush and oil grill grate. Drain marinade from cod; discard marinade. Generously brush each piece of fish on both sides with basting mixture. If using a fish basket, spray or brush it with oil and fasten marinated cod inside. Place fish or fish basket on the hot grate, and grill until cod is cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
  • If grilling fillets directly on the grate, arrange them on a diagonal to the bars, then rotate them a quarter-turn after 2 minutes on each side to create crosshatch grill marks. Turn cod over when the bottom is golden brown. To test for doneness, press fish with your fingers; it should break into clean flakes. Brush the fish with any remaining basting mixture as it cooks. Serve with lemon wedges.
