BAKED COD AND SUMMER SQUASH IN FOIL PACKETS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface and set 1 fish filet on each piece of foil. Arrange zucchini, squash, and onion around each filet and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle fish and vegetables with red chile flakes. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon oil and 1/2 tablespoon wine onto vegetables and fish.
• Arrange a few lemon slices on top of each filet and top with a thyme sprig. Wrap foil around fish and vegetables, leaving some air space within each packet, and seal very well. Set packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Carefully open 1 packet to confirm fish is just cooked through; if not, re-seal packet and return to oven to continue cooking until cooked through. Serve right away, opening packets at the table.

COD WITH MISO-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook shallot, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add squash, salt, maple syrup (if using), and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pot. Cook until squash is very tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Carefully purée squash and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully use a standard blender and work in 2 batches, keeping a towel over the lid and transferring to a medium bowl as you go.) Do ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
• Bring squash purée to a simmer over medium heat (return to same pot if you puréed in a standard blender). Season cod lightly with salt. Reduce heat to low and place cod in sauce (it should be completely covered). Cover pot and cook cod, turning over halfway through, until fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, 15-17 minutes. Remove pot from heat and gently stir lemon juice into sauce.
• Divide rice among bowls and ladle cod and sauce over. Top with cilantro and serve with chili crisp and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

FISH FILLETS WITH TOMATOES, SQUASH, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Place four 14x12" sheets of parchment paper, or heavy-duty foil if grilling, on a work surface. Divide squash among parchment sheets, arranging on one side of sheet in thin layers. Sprinkle shallots and sliced basil over, dividing equally. Scatter tomato halves around squash. Drizzle each packet with 1 tablespoons wine and 1/2 tablespoon oil (add 1/2 tablespoon water to each if grilling). Season with salt and pepper. Place a fish fillet atop each portion. Season with salt and pepper; drizzle 1/2 tablespoon oil over each.
• Fold parchment over mixture and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Chill. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before continuing.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place packets in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Bake or grill fish until just cooked through (a toothpick poked through the parchment will slide through fish easily), about 10 minutes. Carefully cut open packets (steam will escape). Garnish with basil leaves.

COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Arrange on the rack, cut sides up. Bake until shriveled around the edges (but not dry), about 35 minutes. Cool, then peel and chop, reserving all of the flesh and juices.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400°F.
• Toss the squash with the chile flakes, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, about 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the chile, rosemary, and tomatoes and their juices and simmer for 6 minutes. Fold in the roasted squash and simmer for 2 minutes longer. Keep warm.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Season the cod with salt and pepper and dust with Wondra. Coat the skillet with oil. When it's almost smoking, add the cod. Cook for 1 minute, then transfer to the oven. Cook until a knife pierces easily through the flesh, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together the herbs and 3 tablespoons of the oil. Season with salt. Divide the tomato-squash stew among 4 shallow bowls. Place a fillet on top and spoon the herb oil over the fish. Serve immediately.

• Wondra is a superfine flour most commonly used to thicken gravy. I find that it does wonders for getting a thin, crisp golden brown crust on fish.

ROASTED WINTER SQUASH WITH SEARED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt half the butter in a small saucepan.
• Put 2 tablespoons melted butter in a roasting pan and arrange squash slices in one layer on it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter on top. Roast without turning for 20 to 30 minutes, or until squash is tender; keep warm while you finish fish.
• About 5 minutes before squash is done, put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add 2 tablespoons butter. Dredge cod pieces lightly in flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and turn heat to high; cook, turning only once, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through (a thin-bladed knife will meet little or no resistance when fish is done).
• Arrange squash slices on a platter, then top with fish. Add remaining butter to skillet over medium heat; when it sizzles and browns, add vinegar and cook for 10 to 20 seconds more. Pour over all and serve immediately.
