ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

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.

Emma's Cod and Potatoes image

Categories     Potato     Broil     Cod

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 to 5 medium potatoes (2 pounds or more)
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds cod or other white-fleshed fish fillets, about 1 inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8 X 11-inch or similar-size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper, spread them evenly, and put 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. 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.
  • Variations
  • Toss 1 teaspoon or more of minced garlic with the potatoes.
  • Mix up to 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, dill, basil, or chervil or 1 or 2 teaspoons of stronger herbs like thyme or rosemary with the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes with a tablespoon or so of curry, chili powder, or paprika or a few pinches of cayenne or hot red pepper flakes.
  • Top the fish with thinly sliced tomatoes and drizzle them with olive oil or dot them with butter before broiling.
  • Add other vegetables to the potatoes-a cup or more of chopped spinach, for example-but be aware that their moisture may keep the potatoes from browning well.

PAN-FRIED COD SERVED WITH BRAISED POTATOES AND PEAS



Pan-Fried Cod Served With Braised Potatoes and Peas image

Very easy, simple and tasty dish. The locals make it this way (so I think it's a Norwegian recipe!) and we loved it! Each time any of the students from the college go fishing and if they do catch a cod, they always come over and ask me to make them this dish! The cooking time doesn't include refrigeration time.

CREAMY COD AND POTATO GRATIN



Creamy Cod and Potato Gratin image

I got a Food Wish for a classic creamed cod recently (which, by the way, was one of my childhood favorites), but instead of doing the traditional version, I decided I'd try to make it a little bit fancier and refined and present basically all the same ingredients, but in an individual-sized, beautifully browned and bubbling, gratin form. Not to spoil the ending, but I was very happy with how this came out!

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 (6 ounce) fillets cod
2 pinches cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
salt to taste
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While potatoes simmer, trim, bone, and cut the cod fillets across into 2-inch pieces.
  • Drain potatoes well and return to the pot. Add a pinch of cayenne, salt, and 4 tablespoons butter. Mash until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 individual-sized casserole or baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter. Place both dishes on a baking sheet.
  • Transfer about 2/3 cup of the mashed potatoes into each of the prepared dishes. Smooth out evenly and make a shallow depression with a spoon down the middle. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots in the hot butter with a pinch of salt until they just start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Add cod and wait for the sauce to come back to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, while basting with the sauce; turn and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour in lemon juice and turn off the heat; stir for about 30 seconds.
  • Divide the pieces of cod over the potato. Add enough sauce to just cover the fish and return the pan to the stove.
  • Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in tarragon.
  • Spoon the thickened sauce over the cod. Add a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cod is cooked through and the sauce is browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

COD AND MASHED POTATOES



Cod and Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by Dena Kleiman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 medium-size potatoes, scrubbed
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced chives
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thin
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth
1 bouquet garni (1 sprig thyme, 1 sprig parsley, 2 bay leaves, tied together)
1 pound leeks, green part and roots discarded
1 quart peanut oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 8-ounce cod fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare the potatoes, place them in a large heavy pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, peel potatoes and mash in a bowl with butter, milk, salt, pepper and chives. Cover with foil and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Prepare the sauce. In a saucepan warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onion and saute until onion caramelizes, turning light golden, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and tomatoes and saute until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook until sauce reduces by half. Add chicken broth and bouquet garni, then simmer on low heat uncovered for 20 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Cover and remove from heat.
  • If desired, cut leeks in half lengthwise, then halve again into quarters. Wash with cold water and dry completely. Heat peanut oil in a large heavy pot or straight-sided saucepan until the oil registers 275 on a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should not be so hot that it is close to smoking). Fry leeks a few at a time, until golden brown, about 5 minutes a batch. Remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towels or paper bags.
  • To cook fish, heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan, preferably nonstick, over medium. Season fish with salt and pepper and fry 3 minutes a side, turning once. Remove from heat.
  • Reheat sauce over medium heat until hot. Remove bouquet garni. To serve, mound mashed potatoes on platter, top with fish fillets, sauce and leeks.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the right cod: Look for cod that is firm and white, with no brown or yellow spots. Avoid cod that is slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Soak the cod: Soaking the cod in milk or water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove any excess salt and make the fish more tender.
  • Cook the cod gently: Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently over low heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out or becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful oil that will help to enhance the taste of the cod and potatoes.
  • Season the cod and potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the cod and potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • Serve the cod and potatoes immediately: Cod and potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the fish is still flaky and the potatoes are still tender.

Conclusion:

Cod and potatoes is a classic dish that is both simple to make and delicious to eat. By following these tips, you can create a perfect cod and potatoes dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
