PAN-SEARED COD WITH BASIL SAUCE



Pan-seared Cod With Basil Sauce image

This has a fresh pesto-like feel without the nuts, and a lot less fat. Any flaky white fish can be used here - I usually have tilapia or whitefish around rather than cod. I had an open bottle of Reisling and so I used that in place of the broth. From Cooking Light.

PARMESAN BLACK COD WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATO TOPPING



Parmesan Black Cod with Arugula and Tomato Topping image

This has become our favorite fish recipe. Besides being very tasty, it is a quick and easy recipe. We use black cod (US name) or sablefish. Pollock can be used. A while ago I found a similar recipe in a grocery store; it was good but need some tweaking. Basically I toned down the tomato topping, increased the Parmesan, decreased the mustard sauce and modified the cook time. In our opinion these changes made a better balance of flavors. Despite the four serving count, we found that one pound of black cod is just about the right amount for the two of us. Serve with Pinot Gris and French bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and seafood will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Cod is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's worth investing in a good quality one.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The fish will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Parmesan Basil Cod is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The crispy Parmesan crust and the flavorful basil butter sauce complement the delicate cod perfectly. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
