Roasted Cod Fillets With A Garlic Prosciutto Topping Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED COD CRUSTED WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Pile parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and a little coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop the lemon-garlic mixture, then combine with plain bread crumbs.
• Brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and dip in to the bread crumb herb mixture. Brush a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan then place fillet in the pan, crust side up. Roast fillets in oven until firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes.

BAKED COD WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels and remove any stray bones.
• Place filet onto a rimmed baking sheet and fold the thin sides onto the filet to create a uniformly thick filet. Season all sides with salt and pepper and drizzle each side with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Place strips of prosciutto over the filet overlapping the slices as you go to avoid any gaps in prosciutto. Tuck the layers underneath the filet. The ends do not need to be fully covered.
• Place tomatoes in a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine.
• Add seasoned tomatoes to the baking sheet around the fish and bake at 425˚F for 35 minutes or until the center of the fish reaches 145F on an instant-read thermometer. The fish should be flaky in the thickest part of the filet. Cool for 5 minutes then slice into portions with a serrated knife and spoon pan juices over the slices to serve.

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.

ROASTED COD WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450° and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Add cod fillets, both garlic halves (with skin on, cut side up), and cherry tomatoes in a single layer, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until fish is opaque and cooked through, 15 minutes, then transfer fish to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat combine 1 teaspoon oil, onion, white wine, chicken stock and tomato paste, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer, 5 minutes.
• Squeeze garlic cloves from bulb (the skin should separate easily); add garlic and half of roasted tomatoes to sauce. Bring to a boil again and simmer, 5 more minutes. Turn off heat and insert immersion blender into pot; blend until smooth and stir in heavy cream.
• Serve cod with tomato cream sauce and remaining roasted tomatoes. Garnish with parsley.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/375F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper, then gently wrap tightly each cod fillet with a slice of prosciutto. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil then place on a baking tray.
• In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and gently mix until tomatoes are well coated.
• Place the tomatoes on the tray, pouring over them any leftover dressing.
• Bake in the oven in the middle shelf for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and cooked through (it should flake easily).
• Remove the fish from the oven and set aside on a warm plate. Move the tray on the top shelf and continue to cook the tomatoes for a further 4-5 min.
• Remove from the oven, arrange the fish back in the tray and sprinkle with few basil leaves (optional).
• Serve to the table family-style directly from the tray.

ROASTED COD FILLETS WITH A GARLIC-PROSCIUTTO TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine the prosciutto, parsley, basil garlic, lemon zest and pepper in a shallow dish. (This topping can be prepared a couple of hours ahead and refrigerated).
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• Brush a shallow baking dish with some of the olive oil.
• Place the fish in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the prosciutto topping over the fish and pat it on evenly.
• Drizzle with the remaining oil and pour the wine around the fish in the baking dish.
• Roast until the fish is no longer translucent and flakes with a fork and the topping is slightly crispy and browned, about 5 minutes for every 1/2 inch of thickness.
• Serve with the pan juices poured over the fish.

ROAST COD WITH A LEMON, GARLIC AND PARSLEY CRUST

Steps:

• Season the cod with salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix the breadcrumbs with the parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper, then add butter and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly with your fingers.
• Place the cod in a shallow, ovenproof dish and press the buttered crumbs firmly onto the cod to form an even crust. Bake at 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 for 20-25 minutes until the crust is browned and the fish just cooked through. Serve immediately.
