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.

COD WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread 1/3 of oil (or butter) in the bottom of a 9x13" casserole dish. Sprinkle minced garlic across the bottom of the dish.
• Top the garlic with half of the carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and fish. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add more of the oil (or butter).
• Take the remaining vegetables and fish and spread across the casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour wine/stock/water (whichever you decided to use) over all of it. Spread the remaining oil/butter across the top.
• Cover and bake until the potatoes are cooked through -- about 45 minutes.

• Season cod with salt and pepper.

• Roast vegetables in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until they begin to brown.
• Arrange fish over vegetables and roast 7 minutes more, or until it just flakes with a fork.
• While vegetables and fish are roasting, in a small skillet toast bread crumbs with parsley and salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer fish carefully to a plate and keep warm, covered.
• To pan vegetables add water, soy sauce, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce and stir to loosen brown bits from bottom of pan and break up tomatoes.
• Divide ragout among 4 plates and top with fish and bread crumbs.

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.

DEVILED COD WITH WINTER GREENS

Steps:

• Position a rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Combine the panko and 1 tablespoon parsley on a plate. Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne in a small bowl. Season the cod on both sides with salt; brush the top with the mayonnaise mixture, then invert into the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere.
• Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil and top with the cod, panko-side up. Broil until the fish is just cooked through and the panko is crisp and golden, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, then add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the escarole, kale, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve the cod with the greens and lemon wedges.
