Sauteed Cod With Garlic Herb Vinaigrette And Baked Portobello Mushrooms Recipes

BAKED COD WITH GARLIC AND HERB RITZ CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9 x 9-inch ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold the fish) and tilt the dish to coat the bottom with oil. Place the fish fillets in the dish and turn to coat both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Set aside.
• Remove the fish from the oven and pour the wine and lemon juice directly on the fillets. Pat the crumb mixture evenly onto the fillets, pressing gently to help them adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
• Return the pan to the oven for 12 minutes, until the fillets are just cooked through in the center, depending on the thickness of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices and lemon wedges.

BAKED COD WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, jalapeno and onion in 2 teaspoons butter until tender. Place fillets in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper, steak seasoning and bread crumbs. Top with mushroom mixture. Divide remaining butter and place on each fillet., Cover and bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5-8 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

SAUTEED COD WITH GARLIC-HERB VINAIGRETTE AND BAKED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For vinaigrette:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap garlic in foil. Place foil packet directly on oven rack and roast garlic until tender, about 40 minutes. Cool garlic. Peel and finely mash enough garlic cloves to measure 1 tablespoon packed. Place mashed garlic in heavy small saucepan. Add vinegar, mustard, chives, parsley, shallot, and tarragon. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with sea salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
• For mushrooms:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush mushrooms all over with olive oil. Place mushrooms, rounded side down, on foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, then chopped garlic. Arrange 2 rosemary sprigs and 2 thyme sprigs on each. Roast mushrooms until tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare fish:
• Sprinkle fish with sea salt and pepper; dust lightly with flour. Heat canola oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and sauté until brown and just opaque in center, about 5 minutes per side.
• Whisk vinaigrette over low heat to warm slightly. Thinly slice each mushroom on slight diagonal; overlap slices in row on 1 side of each plate. Spoon vinaigrette onto opposite side of plate; top with fish.
