COD WITH SWEET PEPPERS
This quick and delicious recipe is a long-time family favorite. I like to use three or four different-colored peppers for an extra-pretty presentation. Then serve with couscous or brown rice to round out the meal. -Judy Grebetz, Racine, Wisconsin.

FRIED COD WITH GREEN PEPPERS
Translated from Karlos Arguiñano's "Atrévete a cocinar". I've never found green peppers like the fine ones in Spain. They look much like poblanos but they're not spicy in the least, and they don't taste as strong. Red bell peppers might make a good substitute. Spring onions in Spain are about the size of a small regular onion in the US. I would use maybe 4-6 green onions if I'm in the US. The author doesn't recommend measuring equipment, so a tbsp means a soup-spoonful.

Steps:
- Peel green onion and julienne. Clean peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into strips.
- Without peeling them, crush garlic cloves with broad side of chef's knife.
- Heat oil in large frying pan, add garlic cloves (still unpeeled) and fry until they start to turn golden. Transfer garlic to plate, peel and reserve.
- Add cod to pan and fry 3 minutes each side. If the skin is still on, it's very important not to fry the skin side first. Fry the side with no skin first. After frying remove from pan, place on plate.
- Add green onion and pepper to pan, add salt to taste and cook 12 minutes on med-low heat.
- Return fish to pan with any liquid on the plate (the fish will release some liquid while it sits), also return peeled garlic to pan and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
- Serve fish and vegetables together.

FRIED COD FOR FISH AND CHIPS WITH TARTAR SAUCE
Simple and Yummy! We think it's better than Ivar's fish and chips which is the best fast food fish and chips in the USA! Try this Recipe #406770 with it. ***Please note that the nutrition facts are a little misleading - you will not be using all of the flour/salt dredge mixture and most of the shortening will still be in the pan when you are done cooking.***

OLIVE OIL-POACHED COD WITH GREEN PEPPER PURéE
Unlike many cooks, John Willoughby loves what he describes as the fresh, cool and slightly bitter taste of green peppers. This dish uses the liquor from the roasted peppers in addition to pepper purée.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add the bell peppers and poblano pepper whole, and the onion wedges. Salt well and roast, turning every 10 minutes, until peppers collapse and are dark brown or black on at least half of their surfaces, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Set onions aside. Put peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for at least 20 minutes. Reserve liquor that accumulates in bowl and slice peppers open over the bowl to catch any more. Remove skins, stems and seeds from peppers. (Avoid doing this under running water, because it removes some of the smoky flavor.)
- In a food processor or blender, purée peppers and onions to yield 1 cup, season to taste and set aside.
- Salt the cod generously and allow to stand for at least 5 or up to 20 minutes. In an enameled or nonstick pan, heat oil over medium heat until just warm. Reduce heat to medium low, slide cod into olive oil, cover the pan tightly and cook until cod just begins to flake, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Brush or dab a line of pepper purée on each of 4 plates, place a piece of cod over each line, drizzle first with olive oil from the cooking pan, then with pepper liquor.

Tips:
- For the perfect crispy cod, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F.
- To prevent the cod from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-seasoned or use a non-stick pan.
- To ensure even cooking, use a fish spatula to gently flip the cod halfway through the frying process.
- To achieve a golden-brown crust, fry the cod for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- To add a flavorful touch, season the cod with salt, pepper, and paprika before frying.
- For an extra crispy coating, double-coat the cod in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- To make the green pepper topping, use a variety of colors to add visual appeal to the dish.
- For a spicier topping, use a hotter variety of green pepper, such as a serrano or jalapeño.
- To enhance the flavor of the topping, add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- For a healthier alternative, bake the cod instead of frying it. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
