COD BAKED IN BANANA LEAVES



Cod Baked in Banana Leaves image

This is such a fantastic way of cooking cod - you are baking it on a bed of wonderful flavours and sealing them all in with the banana leaves so the fish is really moist and tasty. You can use any fish you fancy, and if you can't get hold of any banana leaves you can use greaseproof paper instead.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large banana leaves
1 orange chili, finely sliced
1 yellow chili, finely sliced
1 red chili, finely sliced
1 fresh coconut, grated
1 large knob ginger, grated
1 large bunch fresh coriander, leaves roughly chopped, plus extra for garnish
3 large cod fillets, skin on, scaled and pin boned
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
3 limes, cut in half

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425 degrees F/ Gas Mark 7.
  • First you need to line a large roasting tray with the banana leaves. You do this by holding them over the hob so the whole leaf is warmed and softened (this makes it more pliable) and placing them in the tray so there is a large piece overlapping on all sides. You need to make sure there are no gaps. Sprinkle over the chili, coconut, ginger and coriander, then place the cod, skin side up, on top.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and squeeze the lime juice over the top. Place the squeezed limes in the tray.
  • Fold the banana leaves over the fish to seal, and place something heavy and ovenproof on top to keep in place.
  • Place in the middle of the oven and cook for about 25 minutes.
  • When the fish is ready, remove the skin from each fillet and serve on warmed small squares of banana leaf, spooning over all the delicious juices, with a little cooked rice and a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves.

COD AND CORN WITH OLD-BAY BUTTER



Cod and Corn With Old-Bay Butter image

This one-pot seafood dinner is inspired by the New England clambake, a festive meal cooked in a fire pit and enjoyed with melted butter. Here, cod and corn cook in a garlicky broth of bottled clam juice for instant shellfish flavor. A final swirl of paprika-spiked Old-Bay butter adds smoky depth to the dish, usually brought by smoldering logs. Leftover butter can be refrigerated or frozen for later use; it's great on roasted potatoes and grilled shrimp or steak.

CODFISH WITH CREAM



Codfish with Cream image

This a traditional Portuguese way of cooking codfish, from the capital city of Lisbon. In a country with a large tradition of making codfish in several ways, this is, for me, the most delicious and sinful way of eating this wonderful fish. Taste it and you will see!

Provided by Rita Machado

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Portuguese

Time P1DT1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces dried salted cod fish
vegetable oil for frying
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into very small cubes
½ cup olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup hot milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup heavy cream
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the potatoes in the hot oil until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven or heat-proof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cod and cook another 3 minutes; stir the potatoes into the mixture and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

COD IN CREAMY AL AJILLO SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Cod in Creamy al Ajillo Sauce Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb cod fillets, seasoned with a sprinkling of salt and pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup sherry or white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • You will need to use a saute pan with a lid. On medium-high, heat the olive oil and butter until melted, then add the onions. Cook onions until translucent before adding the garlic, bay leaf and parsley, cook for 2 or 3 more minutes. Bring the temperature to high and add the sherry, stirring constantly and allowing the alcohol to cook down. Add the fillets, giving them a turn to make sure both sides enjoy the sauciness. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes per side (this may vary depending on thickness). Add the cream and swirl the pan around to distribute the cream evenly. Turn off the heat and cover with the lid, allow the steam and heat contained in the pan to continue cooking the fish. Serve it over white rice or with steamed veggies.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cod fillets. If using frozen fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or baking dish to cook the cod. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet or baking dish. If the fillets are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the cod until it is just cooked through. Overcooked cod will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the cod immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for cod include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Cod is a versatile fish that can be cooked in many different ways. Baked cod with cream and bay leaves is a simple and delicious recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked in a creamy sauce that is flavored with bay leaves and other herbs and spices. The result is a moist and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
