Best 5 Best Marinade For Cod Fillets Recipes

MARINATED COD ON CROUTON

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, ginger, scallions, honey, soy sauce, grapeseed oil and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Marinate the fish fillets in this mixture for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, refrigerated.
• Transfer the cod and marinade to a shallow pan and slowly poach the fish over low heat until it is fork tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Slice the baguette into 18 pieces and lay out on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove fish to a utility platter and flake. Transfer flaked cod to a strainer set over a bowl to drain excess moisture. Discard this excess liquid and put the flaked cod into the bowl.
• In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, scallions and relish to make a tartar sauce. Gently fold this tartar sauce into the flaked fish to help bind it.
• Put the cod on the crouton and place in oven until the fish has a golden brown hue. Remove from oven and garnish with each appetizer with 1/8 teaspoon caviar and a small amount of parsley before serving.

GRILLED COD

Steps:

• Stack about 15 charcoal briquettes into a grill in a pyramid shape. If desired, drizzle coals lightly with lighter fluid and allow to soak for 1 minute before lighting coals with a match. Allow fire to spread to all coals, about 10 minutes, before spreading briquettes out into the grill; let coals burn until a thin layer of white ash covers the coals. Lightly oil the grates.
• Season both sides of cod with Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set fish aside on a plate. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in lemon juice and green onion, and cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
• Place cod onto oiled grates and grill until fish is browned and flakes easily, about 3 minutes per side; baste with butter mixture frequently while grilling. Allow cod to rest off the heat for about 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED ASIAN COD

Steps:

• Place cod in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Add orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, green onions, ginger paste, and garlic; mix to combine. Squeeze excess air out of the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place cod in a grill basket and cook on the preheated grill until internal temperature of fish reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 7 to 9 minutes.

MARINATED COD FILLET AND CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Season cod with salt and pepper. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• In a blender or bowl of a food processor, combine chives, parsley, cilantro, and olive oil into a thick paste. Remove cod from plastic wrap. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess salt and moisture. Cut cod into four portions. Transfer to a baking dish, and coat with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove excess marinade from cod, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. When the oil is hot, add cod. Shake pan to make sure the fillets are not sticking. Add butter, a little at a time, shaking the pan so that the butter slides under the cod and combines with the oil. Saute until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to oven, and roast until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately over corn pudding, and garnish with red-pepper coulis.

MARINATED COD FILLETS W/POTATO SCALES

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
• Remove any skin from fish fillets. Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
• When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
• Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife ... slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
• Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
• Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
• NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.
