Yield Makes 2 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound (500g) fresh cod fillet
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces (90g) thinly sliced slab bacon, rind removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
For the sauce:
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 shallot
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons capers

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.

BROTHY COD WITH PEAS AND MUSHROOMS



Brothy Cod With Peas and Mushrooms image

In this recipe, tender, flaky cod is poached in a light, flavorful broth that optimizes bottled clam juice, a versatile yet underused ingredient. The juice is perfect for weeknight cooking, when shortcuts to big flavor are key, and it adds a subtle, briny backbone to any broth. This broth is also infused with rich shiitake mushrooms, aromatic garlic and a generous boost of bright ginger. Pearl couscous gets toasted before boiling, adding nutty notes to the soup. It also contributes delightful chewiness, but other small pastas like ditalini or orzo are also good substitutes, though cook time may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup pearl couscous
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
1 1/2 pounds skinless cod fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add couscous and stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Add clam juice and 5 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until couscous is al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Add cod and peas and bring back to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is flaky and and cooked through and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in scallions and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide cod, vegetables and couscous across bowls, and top off with remaining broth. Serve warm.
