Scrod With Chipotle Butter And Black Beans Baked In Parchment Recipes

BOSTON BAKED SCROD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the scrod in a single layer. Place the scrod in the prepared baking pan, and add salt, pepper, lemon juice, and wine. Drizzle a 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the fish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, or until fish flakes but is still moist.
• Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the bread crumbs over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter.
• Brown under the broiler for 2 to 5 minutes only, just until lightly browned, and serve.

BAKED SCROD WITH LEMON HERB PANKO CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a skillet, saute the onion in 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of butter until soft but not browned.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the panko crumbs with the parsley and 1 teaspoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the juice of half the lemon.
• Once the onions are soft, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Add to the onions, the juice of 1/2 the lemon (or more!) and the white wine and continue to cook for 1 minute.
• Spread the onion and lemon mixture into individual baking dishes or one baking dish large enough to snuggly hold all the fish.
• Place the fish on top of the onions and season the fish with salt and pepper and a little spray of olive oil.
• Divide the crumb topping evenly over the fish and sprinkle with parsley and give a light spray of olive oil.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until fish is cooked through and the crumbs are nicely browned.
• Cover with tinfoil half way through baking if the top is browning to fast.

SCROD WITH CHIPOTLE BUTTER AND BLACK BEANS BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• On a small plate with a fork, blend together well chipotle butter ingredients and chill. Chipotle butter may be made 5 days ahead and chilled, wrapped tightly.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• On a work surface arrange 1 parchment square and put 3/4 cup black beans and 3 tomato slices in center. Top tomato and beans with 1 piece of scrod or cod.
• Top the fish with 8 olive halves, about one sixth of onion slices, 2 tablespoons wine, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1 oregano sprig and about one sixth of chipotle butter and season well with salt and black pepper. Gather sides of parchment up over fish to form a large sack and gently squeeze middle of sack together to form a waist. Tie one piece of string tightly but gently around waist of sack and transfer sack to a large shallow baking pan. Make 5 more sacks in same manner with remaining parchment squares and ingredients.
• Bake sacks in lower third of oven (being careful that tops of sacks do not touch heating element) 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.
• Divide sacks among 6 plates and at table snip strings with scissors.
• In a bowl mix together black bean ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Black beans may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Season beans with salt and pepper before using.
