Best 3 Pan Seared Boston Cod Fish With Crab And Lobster Brandy Cream Sauce Recipes

LOBSTER-COD CAKES WITH RED CABBAGE SLAW AND FRESH BASIL DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring the water, wine, white onion, celery, peppercorns, and parsley sprigs to a boil in a medium non-reactive skillet. Reduce the heat to low, season the cod with salt and pepper and poach until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cod to plate lined with paper towels, when cool enough to handle, shred the cod into pieces with a fork. While the cod is poaching, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saute pan. Add the red onion, garlic, and jalapeno, and saute until soft. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool slightly.
• Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish together in a large bowl. Add the lobster, cod, and onion mixture, and mix until combined. Fold in the bread crumbs and parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Form the mixture into eight cakes, place on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place the flour in a medium shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the cakes in the flour and tap off any excess. Heat the remaining oil in a large saute pan until almost smoking. Saute the cakes on both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Serve with Red Cabbage Slaw with Fresh Basil Dressing.
• Place vinegar, onion, garlic, mayonnaise, mustard, and basil in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Combine the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper and let sit 10 minutes before serving.

FISH AND LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish into large pieces with a fork.
• Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the saute pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade sauce.
• Remoulade Sauce: Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH LOBSTER BRANDY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Add the butter to a small saucepan and heat on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions and sweat until light brown. Add the flour and stir until mixed. Add the white wine and mix with a whisk. Add the cream and lobster stock and bring to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the brandy, hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Cool and set aside. Warm in a small saucepan as needed.
• For the scallops: Heat a nonstick pan over high heat. Add the oil. Then lightly salt the scallops and add to the pan. Cook the scallops about 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
• Warm 4 ounces of lobster sauce and place on the plate. Land the scallops over the lobster sauce, drizzle with truffle oil and serve with rice or potatoes and your favorite vegetables.
