Yogurt Cod Recipes

QUICK-BRAISED COD WITH HERBED YOGURT

Steps:

• Season fish with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large skillet with a lid, melt butter in olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until slightly thickened and shallot is very soft, about 2 minutes longer.
• Add cod to pan, spoon some of the shallots over top of fish and cover pan. Reduce heat as needed; the liquid should be at a simmer, not a boil. Cook until fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together yogurt, dill, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the cod immediately, topped with shallots, yogurt sauce and dill. Drizzle everything with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky salt and more pepper.

SHEET-PAN COD AND SCALLIONS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mince enough of the scallion greens to equal 2 tablespoons and reserve. Halve remaining scallion whites and greens lengthwise to make ribbons. Place scallion ribbons in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt; set aside.
• Season cod with salt and pepper, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle cod with a little oil, soy sauce and fish sauce. Transfer to the oven and roast, 2 minutes. Add scallion ribbons to the baking sheet, spreading them out in one layer around the fish, and roast until the fish is opaque in the center and golden at the edges, and scallions are browned in spots, 6 to 10 minutes.
• While fish roasts, make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon minced scallion greens, the yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, arrange cod and scallions on serving plates and squeeze lemon over the top. Dollop yogurt sauce over with cod and garnish with remaining scallion greens, red-pepper flakes, more black pepper, and sea salt, if you like.

PISTACHIO CRUSTED BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Dry off your fish with paper towels. Cut fillets into pieces, I got two pieces for each of my fillets.
• Mix the cherry greek yogurt, plain greek yogurt and almond extract together in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a large shallow bowl combine the crushed pistachios, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, white pepper, and dried parsley. Mix well. Set aside.
• Dunk each piece of fish into the yogurt mixture. You can use a brush if you need to coat the fish more evenly.
• Dredge each piece of fish in the pistachio mixture, coat evenly on all sides. Place each piece of fish on the cookie sheet, spaced about 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart. Continue until all the pieces are coated and placed on the cookie sheet.
• Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your fish.
• Serve with a big old pistachio & cod loving smile!

YOGURT COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f degrees.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of cod.
• Place cod in a shallow, small, oven proof dish; spread yogurt over top of both fillets.
• Place on middle rack of preheated oven, roast for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cod and until the yogurt is bubbling and slightly browned.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
• Alternately, cook on stove top in a small preheated, veggie sprayed frypan, do not turn over, cover for the last 5 minutes; it will not brown cooked this way but will taste just as good.
