COD WITH PEPPERCORNS AND LEEKS (WW 5 POINTS PLUS)



Cod With Peppercorns and Leeks (Ww 5 Points Plus) image

Based on a recipe from The South Beach Diet Cookbook. The intro says, "Cracked pepper gives a nice bite to mild cod fillets, while leeks sautéed with garlic" make the perfect accompaniment. This would be good served with lemon wedges and a rice pilaf side since it has a savory sauce. I cooked this in a large skillet that can go from stove-top to oven.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 x 140g skinless cod loin or pollock fillets

POACHED COD WITH POTATOES AND LEEKS



Poached Cod With Potatoes and Leeks image

Gently poaching fillets of delicate white fish in milk is the secret to an elegant yet effortless dinner.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Categories     Bon Appétit     Cod     Poach     Dinner     Healthy     Fish     Milk/Cream     Potato     Leek     Garlic     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium leeks, white and pale-greens parts only, halved lengthwise, with some root attached
4 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves, smashed
3 cups whole milk
4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover by 1"; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Return potatoes to pot; add 2 Tbsp. cooking liquid and 2 Tbsp. oil and lightly mash. Season with salt. Keep potatoes warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  • Combine leeks, thyme, garlic, and milk in a medium wide saucepan. Season generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until leeks are just beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes. Gently slide cod into infused milk and poach until flesh is cooked through and beginning to flake, 7-9 minutes (adjust heat as needed to maintain a low simmer; thicker pieces of fish will take longer to cook).
  • Divide warm potatoes, leeks, and cod among shallow bowls. Spoon some poaching liquid over each. Drizzle with oil; season with pepper.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and sustainably sourced seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing cod or any other fish, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and will result in steamed fish instead of seared fish.
  • Use a good quality nonstick skillet: A good quality nonstick skillet will help you prevent the fish from sticking and will make cleanup a breeze.
  • Be patient when searing the fish: Don't rush the searing process. Let the fish cook undisturbed for a few minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Cod is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that it is flaky and moist.
