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.

EASY BAKED LING COD WITH MISO-SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rack should be on the middle or upper third of the oven.
• If the skin is on the ling cod, score the skin side with a few slashes with a paring knife about 1/2" deep. This will allow the glaze to penetrate through the skin and keep the fish from curling when cooked.
• Mix together glaze ingredients. Rub onto fish and let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Place fish fillet on a baking sheet, lined with foil or not, and rubbed with a bit of oil or non-stick spray. Roast fish for 10-15 minutes until fish is cooked through or 145 degrees . Time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.

JOE'S HERB GRILLED LINGCOD

Steps:

• Combine fish, chives, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper in a 1-gallon ziplock bag. Marinate in fridge overnight.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Grill for 3 min. a side for thinner pieces or 7-8 min. a side for thicker pieces.
• On the boat, Joe serves this with rice. We also love it with roasted potatoes and salad. Joe's pro cooking tip: Start grilling the thicker pieces of lingcod first. You'll know the fish is done when it flakes with the gentle press of a finger.

PAN SEARED LINGCOD

Steps:

• Dry the fish with paper towels, and season with the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
• Place the butter and olive oil in the pan over medium heat and let the butter melt and the oil heat up.
• Place the fish down in the pan along with the thyme and garlic, and let cook for 4-5 minutes, until it develops a golden-brown crust. Don't mess with it!
• Flip the fish and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the other side is browned. The middle of the fish should be 145°. Make sure the garlic doesn't scorch.
• Remove the fish from the pan, tent with foil, and set aside.
• In the same pan, add in the juice from the lemon to deglaze the pan. Spoon the remaining sauce over the fish before serving.

LINGCOD WITH BROWN BUTTER, HONEY, AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium­-high heat. Place some flour on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Put oil in skillet so that it coats the bottom well, and turn heat to high. When oil shimmers, dredge lingcod lightly in flour, shaking to remove excess, and add it to pan. You may need to cook the fish in two batches. Cook until the lingcod is nicely browned on one side, about 5 minutes, then turn. Cook on second side, adjusting heat so it does not burn, until it is firm to touch, approximately 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and move fish to a warm platter. Add butter and honey to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly and brown, about 2 minutes. Add capers and swirl them around, then pour sauce over fish. Immediately add vinegar to pan that butter was in, swirl it around, and pour it over fish. Garnish with parsley, and serve.

PARMESAN BAKED COD RECIPE (KETO, LOW CARB, GF)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the grated Parmesan on a dinner plate and add the garlic powder and paprika.
• Wash the lemon and pat it dry. Cut it in half and make zest from one of the halves by using a zester or grater to shave off the yellow part of the skin, adding it to the cheese mixture.
• Rinse the parsley and pat it dry. Cut it with scissors or chop it before adding it to the cheese mixture. Toss the cheese mixture with a fork to blend it.
• Rinse the fish in cold water and rub your thumbs along the surface to see if there are any bones to remove. Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
• Melt the butter in a small pan on the stove or microwave it in a bowl. Set up an assembly line from left to right with the fish, the butter, the cheese mixture, and the sheet pan.
• Use a fork to dip each piece of fish in the butter on both sides, then in the cheese mixture, coating both sides and patting the topping onto the cod with the fork. Place the coated fish onto the sheet pan, top with any excess melted butter and bake for 15 minutes. The cod is done when it can be easily flaked with a fork.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the fish and serve with bread for dipping in the garlic butter (you can place the pan on the table for informal dinners) or spoon the butter over rice, mashed potatoes or polenta. Store leftover cod in the refrigerator for up to three days.

ROASTED LING COD RECIPE WITH LEMON PEPPER AIOLI AND WILTED CHARD

Steps:

• FOR THE AIOLI:
• Add mustard, lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt and pepper to ½ cup good quality mayonnaise. Using a fork, blend well. Note, if you want to make homemade aioli, see instructions in the note section.
• FOR THE LING COD
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat a large, preferably non-stick, skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season fish generously with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add fillets and cook about 2 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Gently turn fish and cook another 2 minutes.
• Place the ling cod fillets on a sheet pan that's been oiled, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and covered in parchment paper. Roast fillets for about 10 minutes, or until done. To tell if the fillets are done, press the back of the fillets and if the fish shows a hint of separating or flaking the fillets are ready.
• FOR THE GREENS:
• In the meantime Adjust heat to medium, and add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the same skillet. Quickly sauté garlic and red pepper flakes, approximately 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add greens to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to move the chard around the pan to wilt evenly. Add lemon juice just before serving.

HERB-CRUSTED LING COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a shallow pan mix the herbs, salt, pepper and panko. Rub each piece of fish with olive oil, then pat the crumb mixture onto the fish. Once all the fish is coated, lightly sprinkle with a pinch more salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high. Add a little butter and a little olive oil to the pan, then add the fish. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes, until coating is deep golden brown. Turn fish and immediately tranfer pan into the oven. Cook fish for 5 minutes, or until the fish feels slightly resistant to your touch. Remove from oven and serve. **Panko is a Japanese bread crumb that creates a less heavy coating than traditional breadcrumbs
