Best Cod With Winter Vegetables Recipes

ROASTED WINTER SQUASH WITH SEARED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt half the butter in a small saucepan.
• Put 2 tablespoons melted butter in a roasting pan and arrange squash slices in one layer on it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter on top. Roast without turning for 20 to 30 minutes, or until squash is tender; keep warm while you finish fish.
• About 5 minutes before squash is done, put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add 2 tablespoons butter. Dredge cod pieces lightly in flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and turn heat to high; cook, turning only once, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through (a thin-bladed knife will meet little or no resistance when fish is done).
• Arrange squash slices on a platter, then top with fish. Add remaining butter to skillet over medium heat; when it sizzles and browns, add vinegar and cook for 10 to 20 seconds more. Pour over all and serve immediately.

OVEN BAKED COD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 C.
• Place the garlic and vegetables in a large shallow roasting pan, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the cod fillet on top of the vegetables and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is golden and the vegetables are crisp.
• Serve the cod with the roasted vegetables, sprinkled with torn parsley.
• You may also enjoy a bit of mayonnaise on the side.

FISH CHOWDER WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Put the bacon and butter in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot. Cook over medium-high heat, turning, until the bacon is crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pot.
• Meanwhile, chop the celery and slice the scallions. Add the celery, rutabaga, potatoes, thyme and all but 2 tablespoons scallion greens to the pot. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are well coated with the bacon drippings, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour in the clam juice and 3 cups water, cover and bring to a boil. Open the lid slightly and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Cut the fish into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks; add to the pot along with the half-and-half. Cover and simmer until the fish is just cooked through but not falling apart, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the chowder among bowls; discard the thyme. Crumble the bacon and scatter over the soup along with the reserved scallion greens. Serve with crackers or rolls.

BAKED COD AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the onion in oil until tender. Add the red pepper, mushrooms, garlic, allspice, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the olives, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons parsley. Spoon onto the center of a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.). , Place cod over vegetables; sprinkle with remaining lemon juice and parsley. Fold foil over and fold in the edges twice, forming a pouch. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
