BAKED COD WITH BUTTERY CRACKER TOPPING



Baked Cod With Buttery Cracker Topping image

Baked, stuffed fish is an old-school restaurant staple in New England; covered in lemony, butter-soaked cracker crumbs, it's a wonderful way to eat mild white fish like cod or haddock. The dish has a long history and relies on two ingredients New Englanders have in abundance: fresh seafood and crackers, which are descended from sailors' hardtack. Fannie Farmer's 1896 "Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" has a recipe for cracker-stuffed halibut, seasoned with butter, salt, pepper and onion juice. Some modern versions use saltines, others use butter crackers like Ritz, and many enrich the crackers with crab meat. This recipe is an easy weeknight variation: Instead of rolling the fish up around the stuffing, which requires long, thin filets, it is generously covered in the stuffing and roasted until the cracker topping is toasted and the fish flakes.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces butter-flavored crackers, such as Ritz (about 1½ sleeves; 1½ cups crushed)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
1/2 lemon, zest and juice, plus more lemon wedges for serving
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6- to 8-ounce) fillets of cod, haddock, halibut or other white fish
Coarse kosher salt and black pepper
Sweet paprika, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs.
  • Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.)
  • Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm, white-fleshed fish. Cod, haddock, and halibut are all good choices.
  • Soak the fish in milk for 30 minutes before baking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flaky.
  • Season the fish with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Bake the fish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
  • Make the cheese sauce while the fish is baking. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the baked fish and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Baked cod in cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The fish is flaky and moist, and the cheese sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
