Cod Baked With Currants Recipes

BAKED COD IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
• Prepare cream sauce (see instructions below) and set aside, keeping warm.
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and place cod fillets in the dish. Sprinkle with salt.
• Combine melted butter and garlic and brush over fillets, reserving any leftover butter mixture.
• Sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs over fillets and pour remaining butter mixture over the top.
• Pour cream sauce in the spaces between the cod fillets so it fills up the baking dish and just the tops of the fillets are visible.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cream sauce starts bubbling.
• When the sauce starts bubbling up, set oven to "broil" and broil for about 3-5 minutes or until the fillets start to turn golden brown.
• Keep a CLOSE eye on it to make sure it doesn't start to burn.
• Remove from oven and serve with potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

BAKED COD RECIPE WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
• In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
• Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
• To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
• Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

LEMON BAKED COD

Steps:

• If fish fillets are large, cut into serving pieces.
• Mix butter and lemon juice.
• In another bowl, mix flour, salt and white pepper.
• Dip fish into butter mixture; coat fish with flour mixture.
• Place fish in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches.
• Pour remaining butter mixture over fish; sprinkle with paprika.
• Cook uncovered in 350 degree oven until fish flakes easily with fork, 25-30 minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices if desired.

PERFECT TEN BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl; melt in microwave on high, about 30 seconds. Stir buttery round crackers into melted butter.
• Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 7x11-inch baking dish. Melt in the preheated oven, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove dish from oven.
• Coat both sides of cod in melted butter in the baking dish.
• Bake cod in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; top with lemon juice, wine, and cracker mixture. Place back in oven and bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 more minutes.
• Garnish baked cod with parsley and green onion. Serve with lemon wedges.

BAKED STUFFED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and thoroughly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray and add the cod fillets.
• Try to choose a dish that will accommodate your fish in a single layer with little or no room left over. If your fillets have thin portions (as most do), it's a good idea to overlap them a bit to keep the thickness somewhat uniform.
• Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon each of the lemon juice and olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil together with the butter over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté just until garlic begins to turn golden (do not brown).
• Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining lemon juice, breadcrumbs and parsley.
• Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the fish and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
• Serve immediately (this dish is served casserole-style - you don't have to portion out individual fillets).

CRISPY BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add the butter to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or another similar size dish that easily holds all of your fillets). Place the dish in the hot oven, just until the butter melts (it will only take a few minutes).
• In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture to coat on all sides, shake off excess breading, and place in the hot dish. Very carefully turn the fish to coat with butter. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the melted butter over the top of the fish.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn the broiler to HIGH and broil the fish for 1-2 more minutes, until the top of the fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the fish while it's under the broiler to make sure that it doesn't burn.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

COD BAKED WITH CURRANTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a small bowl combine currants and wine, set aside.
• Oil a baking dish in which cod steaks will fit side by side.
• Place fish steaks in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then rub with garlic and drizzle with lemon juice.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm the 1/2 cup oil.
• Add onions, parsley and tomatoes and cook till onions are soft (5-6 minutes).
• Add cloves and currants and wine, simmer over medium heat 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over fish steaks.
• Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork (35-45 minutes), basting several times during cooking.
• Transfer fish to serving plates and spoon sauce over top.
