Broiled Scrod With Lemon Butter Recipes

BROILED COD WITH LEMON BUTTER GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler on the oven. Pat the cod with a paper towel, then season both sides with the salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a cast iron or oven-proof skillet that is no bigger than 12 inches. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
• Place the cod fillets in the pan and cook for 1 minute, then carefully turn them over.
• Place the skillet in the oven about 4-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 6-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the internal temperature of the cod reaches 130-140°F on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion of a fillet.
• Garnish with the parsley and extra lemon slices, if desired, and serve.

BROILED SCROD WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Thaw fish fillets, if frozen. Place in a single layer on greased rack of an unheated broiler pan. Tuck under any thin edges to make even thickness. Combine butter and lemon juice and brush over fillets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil fish 4 inches from the heat for 10 to 12 minutes or just until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, brushing occasionally with lemon-butter mixture. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. If desired, top with buttered bread crumbs near the end to brown and crisp.

GRILLED SCROD WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Add olive oil to medium sauce pan. Add all vegetables and saute for 5 minutes or until golden; set aside.
• Clean fish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place fish on individual sheets of aluminum foil. Cut lemon so that the juice is extracted easily. Squeeze lemon onto each individual piece of fish to your liking. Add fresh basil and 1 pad of butter to each piece of fish. Then top with vegetables.
• Wrap each piece of fish and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Cook on grill for 20 to 30 minutes.

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.
