Microwaved Cod Recipes

PERFECT TEN BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl; melt in microwave on high, about 30 seconds. Stir buttery round crackers into melted butter.
• Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 7x11-inch baking dish. Melt in the preheated oven, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove dish from oven.
• Coat both sides of cod in melted butter in the baking dish.
• Bake cod in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; top with lemon juice, wine, and cracker mixture. Place back in oven and bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 more minutes.
• Garnish baked cod with parsley and green onion. Serve with lemon wedges.

COD DELIGHT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Place cod in an 11x7-in. baking dish; top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Microwave, covered, on high 5-6 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

MICROWAVED BLACK COD WITH SCALLIONS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Place each fillet in a separate microwave-safe zip-top bag, then place the bags skin (or skinned) side down next to each other on a microwave-safe plate.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil; set aside. Divide ginger coins and white part of scallions between the two bags. Pour half the wine (3/4 teaspoon) into each bag. Microwave until fish becomes opaque and flakes easily, 3 1/2 to 5 minutes in an 800-watt oven. (Cooking times will vary depending on the kind of fish used and the power of the oven; for ovens over 800 watts, lower the power level accordingly.)
• Transfer each fillet to a warm serving plate and drizzle each with half of the soy sauce mixture. Garnish with scallion greens and julienned ginger. In a small pan, heat peanut oil until sizzling. Drizzle the hot oil over each fillet and serve immediately.
