Cod With Winter Vegetables Recipes

BAKED COD AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the onion in oil until tender. Add the red pepper, mushrooms, garlic, allspice, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the olives, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons parsley. Spoon onto the center of a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.). , Place cod over vegetables; sprinkle with remaining lemon juice and parsley. Fold foil over and fold in the edges twice, forming a pouch. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

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.

DEVILED COD WITH WINTER GREENS

Steps:

• Position a rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Combine the panko and 1 tablespoon parsley on a plate. Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne in a small bowl. Season the cod on both sides with salt; brush the top with the mayonnaise mixture, then invert into the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere.
• Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil and top with the cod, panko-side up. Broil until the fish is just cooked through and the panko is crisp and golden, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, then add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the escarole, kale, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve the cod with the greens and lemon wedges.

COD WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread 1/3 of oil (or butter) in the bottom of a 9x13" casserole dish. Sprinkle minced garlic across the bottom of the dish.
• Top the garlic with half of the carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and fish. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add more of the oil (or butter).
• Take the remaining vegetables and fish and spread across the casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour wine/stock/water (whichever you decided to use) over all of it. Spread the remaining oil/butter across the top.
• Cover and bake until the potatoes are cooked through -- about 45 minutes.

LEMON BUTTER BAKED COD WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut cod fillets into serving pieces. Arrange in an ungreased baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice, butter pieces, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper.
• Mix carrots, onion, celery, bread cubes, melted butter, sage, thyme, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs, parsley, and paprika together in a separate bowl.
• Spread vegetable mixture evenly over cod. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle bread crumb mixture over top. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes.
