Almond Cod With Peas Pressure Cooker Recipes

COD WITH ALMOND-SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Season the cod with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the almonds and sesame seeds and cook, tossing, until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until finely ground; set the blender aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Add the cod, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the cod to a plate.
• Transfer the leek and 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid to the almond mixture in the blender and blend on high speed until smooth and thick. Add more cooking liquid as needed to loosen.
• Meanwhile, arrange the cabbage on a baking sheet and broil, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the pepperoncini brine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the cilantro, olives, pepperoncini and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Divide the cod among plates. Top with the almond sauce and olive mixture. Serve with the cabbage.

FISH WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Place a large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add almonds. Stir constantly until they are tinged with color. Take from heat, and transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Season both sides of the fish well with salt and pepper. Place the same pan over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil. When both begin to bubble, add cod fillets skin side up. Brown fish until opaque all the way through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate, skin side down.
• Reduce heat under pan to low, and add lemon juice. Stir to blend with butter and oil, then pour this sauce over fillets. Scatter parsley over cod, and scatter with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

• Add clam juice and 5 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until couscous is al dente, about 10 minutes.
• Add cod and peas and bring back to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is flaky and and cooked through and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in scallions and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide cod, vegetables and couscous across bowls, and top off with remaining broth. Serve warm.
