Cod With Roasted Tomatoes And Summer Squash Recipes

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.

ROASTED SQUASH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Halve, seed and thinly slice 1 small acorn squash; cut 2 medium tomatoes into wedges. Toss the squash and tomatoes with 1 sliced small red onion, 2 smashed garlic cloves, 1 sprig rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Roast at 425 degrees F, stirring once, until tender, 40 minutes. Toss with grated parmesan.

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.

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.

BAKED FISH WITH SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place squashes, thyme, and capers in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Season fish with salt and pepper; arrange over squashes. Top with tomatoes. Drizzle fish and tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake 15 minutes.
• Remove foil and continue to bake until fish is opaque and squashes are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve with rice.

SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic. Increase the heat to high and add the squash. Saute, tossing frequently until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and mint and cook until warmed, about 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a warm bowl.

BAKED COD WITH SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of oil; set aside.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is tender about 5-6 minutes.
• Stir in bell pepper, yellow squash, salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, five minutes or until pepper is crisp-tender.
• Stir in tomatoes.
• Bring to a boil and cook until lightly thickened (5 minutes).
• Place cod on top of vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with bread crumb mixture.
• Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes or until cod is cooked through and bread crumbs are lightly browned.

PAN-COOKED SUMMER SQUASH WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the zucchini is lightly seared and beginning to soften, three to five minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
• Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant -- less than 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have begun to cook down, about five minutes. Return the zucchini to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant sauce. Stir in the basil, and taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
• While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

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.
