Sautéed Cod With Grapefruit Sage Sauce Recipes

COD WITH BROWN BUTTER LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the peels from the lemons, revealing the flesh. Cut the segments free from the membranes, then dice and place in a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter and begin to cook, stirring, until the butter begins to brown. Add the brioche, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, continually tossing and swirling the brioche until evenly toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove the croutons to a plate and let cool. Wipe out the pan.
• Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter and the oil and begin to cook over the heat, stirring. Add the fish and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fish and continue to cook, basting occasionally with the butter from the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
• Turn the pan to medium heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Let melt, then add the capers and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Continue to cook until the butter browns, then add the wine, lemon juice and segments and parsley. Swirl together. Spoon the sauce over the fish and garnish with the croutons.

ROASTED SALMON WITH SHALLOT GRAPEFRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt, place in a baking dish and roast until cooked through, about 18 minutes.
• While the salmon is cooking prepare the sauce. Cut 1 of the grapefruits into sections by cutting off the top and bottom of the fruit, then standing it on 1 end, cut down the skin to remove the pith and peel. Then, with a paring knife, remove each segment of fruit from its casing and cut the segments in half. Set the segment pieces aside. Juice the other grapefruit and set the juice aside.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, grapefruit juice, honey, and cayenne pepper and bring to simmer. Cook until sauce is reduced by about half about, 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and season with salt, to taste. Right before serving, toss the grapefruit pieces and basil into the sauce. Put the salmon onto a serving dish. Spoon sauce over the salmon and serve.

SAUTéED FLUKE WITH GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a small saucepan, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, harissa, ginger and garlic. Over a bowl to catch the juices, cut the grapefruit segments free from the membrane. Set the segments aside and squeeze the remaining juice from the membrane into the bowl. Whisk 3 tablespoons grapefruit juice into the olive oil mixture.
• Lightly season the fluke on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet. When the oil shimmers, add 2 fluke fillets and cook for about 1 minute. Flip and cook for 30 more seconds. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 2 minutes. Keep the fish warm, and repeat with the remaining canola oil and 2 fillets.
• To serve, warm the vinaigrette over medium-low heat. Just before serving the fish, add the mint, rosemary and grapefruit segments and warm for about 1 minute, or until the segments are heated through. Lay a handful of frisee on each plate, followed by a piece of fish. Top the fish and frisee with grapefruit segments and a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette.

Steps:

• For the cod, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge cod in flour mixture. Cook cod in oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cod to a plate and tent with foil.
• For the sauce, cook shallots in same pan over medium heat until softened, 1-2 minutes.
• Add grapefruit juice, cream, and broth to pan, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer sauce until reduced by half, 8 - 10 minutes.
• Whisk in butter, 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring constantly, adding more butter when previous addition has been emulsified.
• Stir in zest and sage; season sauce with salt, white pepper, and cayenne if desired. Serve sauce with cod.

SOUS VIDE COD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water. Attach an immersion circulator to the pot. Set the temperature to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) and the timer to 35 minutes.
• Season cod lightly with salt and pepper. Zest 1/2 of the lemon over each piece. Slice lemon. Place butter and 2 lemon slices over the lemon zest. Place 1/2 of the shallot slices in the bottom of a resealable bag and place 1 cod loin on top. Repeat with second piece of cod and remaining shallot slices. Close the bags, leaving 1 small corner open.
• Lower the bags into the water and submerge until all the air has been expelled. Close the corners.
• Wait until timer goes off and remove the bags. Carefully transfer cod onto 2 plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of cooking liquid from the bag over each cod loin. Garnish with extra lemon slices.
