SHEET PAN ROASTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and the zest of the lemon. Add the cherry tomatoes, shallots, broccolini and torn sourdough. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to coat.
• Scoop the vegetables and bread out onto a large, rimmed baking sheet, leaving some of the flavored oil at the bottom of the bowl. Halve the lemon and add to the pan, cut side down. Roughly crumble the feta into large hunks and dot over the vegetables and roast for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the cod into two equal pieces and add them to the remaining oil in the bowl. Toss well to coat, season with salt and pepper and leave in the bowl to marinate while the vegetables roast.
• Add the fish to the vegetables and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
• Transfer to plates and scatter with basil and parsley. Roughly tear the radicchio onto the plate next to the fish and squeeze over the roasted lemon. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

ROAST COD ESCALIVAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub eggplants with about a tablespoon of olive oil and roast them whole 30 to 40 minutes, until very soft. Rub peppers with about a tablespoon of olive oil and roast them whole until they blister, turning them to brown on each side. Cool peppers, peel and cut into fine julienne. When eggplant is done, scoop out flesh and put in plastic colander. Let eggplant drain overnight in refrigerator.
• Peel onion and cut into one-inch rings. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of olive oil, put in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast until soft but not brown (about 30 minutes). Chop finely.
• Spread cumin seeds in a saute pan and toast for a minute or so over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they become aromatic. Grind in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
• Combine vegetables and simmer in a sauce pan over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking, until mixture is just moist but not dry. Add cumin, salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix fine salt, paprika and cayenne together and rub a light coat on fillets. Heat remaining olive oil in saute pan until oil begins to smoke. Brown fillets lightly on both sides. Transfer them to lightly oiled sheet pan and bake for about six minutes.
• To assemble, heat the eggplant and divide the mixture between four plates. Top it with fish.
