Poached Cod With Parsley Sauce Recipes

POACHED COD WITH PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add flour; whisk until a paste forms. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking, 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, pour in milk in a slow, steady stream; whisk until incorporated. Whisk in stock. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in parsley and chives.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 quarts water, the lemon peel, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saute pan or other wide straight-sided pan. Place fillets in liquid (do not crowd). Return to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let stand until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Reheat sauce over medium-low heat, if necessary, and add remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Gently lift fillets from liquid with a slotted spatula; place a fillet on each of four plates. Spoon one-quarter of sauce over each serving, and garnish with a parsley sprig.

POACHED COD WITH LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the lemon-parsley sauce ingredients together thoroughly in a small bowl, then set aside.
• At serving time, bring the 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Holding the fish fillets with a slotted spoon or skimmer, lower them individually into the pan, and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, and poach the fish, cooking the pieces at a very light boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are barely cooked through.
• Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, lift the fish from the water, drain thoroughly, and arrange one fillet on each of six warm plates. Press the fish lightly with a spatula or fork to make it separate a little into flakes, which will permit the sauce to be absorbed and to penetrate the interior of the fish.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

COD WITH PARSLEY SAUCE AND MASH

Steps:

• For the parsley sauce, slowly bring the milk, onion, nutmeg, bay leaf and white peppercorns to a simmer in a pan. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 25g/1oz of the butter in a heavy-based pan. Whisk in the flour to create a smooth paste (this is called a roux), then cook, whisking continuously, for one minute, or until the paste has thickened. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Strain the milk mixture into the roux mixture, then whisk well until completely incorporated.
• Return the pan to the heat and gradually bring the mixture to the boil, whisking continuously, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• Stir in the remaining 10g/½oz of butter until the sauce is glossy, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Meanwhile, for the mash, crush the cooked potatoes and celeriac cubes in a pan with the butter and cream until smooth and well combined. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm.
• For the cod, sprinkle the flour onto a plate and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dredge the cod fillets in the seasoned flour until completely coated.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the coated cod fillets and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden-brown on both sides and cooked through. (NB: The cod is cooked through when the flesh is opaque.)
• When the cod is almost cooked through, dot the cod fillets with the butter, then squeeze over the lemon. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat.
• To serve, spoon a portion of the mash into the centre of each of four serving plates. Place one fried cod fillet on top of each serving. Drizzle over the pan juices, then pour over the parsley sauce. Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge.
