Best 2 Crusty Broiled Cod With Littlenecks And Chouriço Recipes

SAUTéED COD WITH POTATOES IN CHORIZO-MUSSEL BROTH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush unpeeled garlic with a teaspoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, bake 40 minutes. Meanwhile, place potatoes in pot of salted water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until very tender, about 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in 3-quart saucepan. Add sliced shallots and sliced garlic, cook over low heat until soft but not colored, add wine, bring to a simmer and add mussels. Cover and cook until mussels open, about 3 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve, and reserve cooking liquid. Shuck mussels and reserve, covered. Clean pan.
• Place 2 tablespoons oil in mussel pan. Add minced shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until soft. Add chorizo, and sauté until starting to brown. Add clam juice and mussel cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer, add 1 branch each thyme and rosemary, remove from heat, add shucked mussels, and set aside, covered.
• When roasted garlic is done, remove it from foil, and peel cloves. When potatoes are done, drain them, and return them to cooking pot. Mash with a fork, adding roasted garlic cloves, butter, and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Place over low heat, fold in 4 tablespoons parsley, add 2 teaspoons lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Set aside over very low heat.
• Pat fish dry, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. In heavy skillet large enough to hold fish without crowding, add remaining oil. Place over high heat. When oil is hot, sauté fish, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Reheat chorizo-mussel broth over low heat, and add remaining lemon juice. Remove thyme and rosemary, and add remaining parsley.
• To serve, place a portion of potatoes in center of each of four shallow soup plates. Place a portion of fish on potatoes. Spoon broth, chorizo and mussels around potatoes, and garnish with thyme and rosemary.
