Best 7 Codfish And Potato Casserole Recipes

PORTUGUESE COD FISH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Soak salted cod in cold water overnight or for a few hours. Drain water, repeat. Heat a large pot of water until boiling. Cook cod for 5 minutes; drain and cool, leaving cod in large pieces. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In an 8x11 casserole dish, layer half the potato slices, all of the cod, and all of the onions. Top with remaining potato slices. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato sauce. Pour evenly over casserole.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

FISH AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12x7-inch casserole dish.
• Slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until barely soft, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium and gradually whisk fish stock and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the onion, and 1/2 of the spinach in the prepared casserole. Follow with white fish fillets and flaked salmon, then remaining onions, spinach, and potatoes. Pour all of the white sauce over top and sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining Cheddar.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until center is hot and white fish flakes easily with a fork, about 40 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
• Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
• Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

COD, POTATO, AND FENNEL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut fennel bulbs crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer. Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer.
• Transfer fennel and potatoes to baking dish and toss with garlic, salt, pepper, and 4 tablespoons oil. Spread vegetables evenly in dish and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven until just tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Season fish with salt and pepper and arrange on top of vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and bake, uncovered, until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

CODFISH AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the cod under cold running water to remove any surface salt. Place the fish pieces in a large nonreactive pot, cover with water and refrigerate (covered) for 24 hours, changing the water several times.
• 2. Pour off the water, refill the pot with clean water and gently boil the cod until it flakes easily with a fork, about 7 to 10 minutes (or longer), depending on the thickness.
• 3. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and sauté the onions until barely brown. Add the garlic and cook a minute more. Set aside.
• 4. Drain the cod and let cool. Flake it into a large bowl and remove any bones or bits of skin. Add the onion-garlic mixture, nutmeg, white pepper and remaining olive oil, and toss lightly. Pack the mixture into well-oiled 9-x-13-inch ovenproof casserole dish. Cover the codfish with the potato slices.
• 5. Lightly oil a cookie sheet, place it over the casserole and invert. Carefully remove the casserole dish to keep the cod mixture intact. Bake in a preheated, 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cod is lightly toasted.
• 6. To serve, cut a square of cod and center it on a plate. Drizzle with additional olive oil to moisten. Garnish with 2 egg halves, several olives and some parsley.

ROAST COD WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large skillet cook the onions and the garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is pale golden. While the onion mixture is cooking, in another large skillet heat the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in batches, turning them, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are pale golden, transferring them as they are cooked to a bowl. Add the onion mixture to the potatoes with the olives, the rosemary, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.
• Put the cod in the center of a large shallow baking dish, season it with salt and pepper, and arrange the potato mixture around it. Roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish just flakes. Flake 2 cups of the cod and reserve it, covered and chilled, for making the cod cannelloni.

PORTUGUESE COD CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Soak a 3-litre (3-quart) terracotta baking dish and its cover in water for about 15 minutes. If you are not using a terracotta dish, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) with the rack in the middle position (see note).
• In a skillet over medium heat, caramelize the onions in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Set aside.
• Remove the terracotta dish and cover from the water.
• Cover the bottom of the dish with one quarter of the potato slices.
• Add half the tomatoes and olives. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover with another quarter of the potatoes. Cover with the onion and garlic mixture.
• Cover with another quarter of the potatoes, and then lay the fish on top. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the remaining potatoes, tomatoes and olives.
• Add the broth. Adjust the seasoning.
• Cover the dish and place it in the centre of the oven. Turn the oven on to 200°C (400°F). Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes and serve.
• *Note: If you do not have a terracotta dish, you can use any ovenproof covered baking dish. In that case, preheat the oven and reduce the cooking time to about 1 hour.
