POACHED COD WITH TOMATOES AND SAFFRON



Poached Cod with Tomatoes and Saffron image

My favorite fish varieties are grouper, haddock, salmon, trout, and cod. All of these fish are very versatile and are easily adaptable for many recipes like this Poached Cod with Tomatoes and Saffron because the mild fish flavor is still able to shine through the delicious broth. Typically we serve this dish with steamed rice to soak up all that fabulous broth - if you're watching your carbs, cauliflower "rice" makes a great alternative, too.

POACHED COD WITH TOMATO AND SAFFRON RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Poached Cod with Tomato and Saffron Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-49298

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tsp. Aleppo pepper or 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 14.5-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 bay leaves
Pinch of saffron threads
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 5-oz. skinless cod fillets
Also try it with: Black Bass or flounder fillets

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring often, until fragrant (garlic should not take on any color), about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you add them, wine, bay leaves, saffron, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors meld, 5-7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; season cod with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Cover and cook at a bare simmer until cod is opaque throughout and beginning to flake, 5-7 minutes (thicker pieces will take longer to cook). Gently transfer cod to shallow bowls and spoon poaching liquid over. You want to cook the cod at a lazy simmer; it will make all the difference between buttery, flaky fish and rubbery, tough fillets.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sustainable cod: Look for firm, white fillets with no signs of discoloration or odor.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is key to infusing the cod with flavor. Use a combination of white wine, chicken or fish stock, and aromatic vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the cod well: Before poaching, season the cod with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
  • Poach the cod gently: Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the cod. Reduce the heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the cod: Cod is a delicate fish and can easily be overcooked. Check the doneness of the cod by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily but still be slightly translucent in the center.
  • Serve the cod immediately: Poached cod is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky. Serve with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Poached cod is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is healthy, flavorful, and can be easily customized to your liking. With its mild flavor and flaky texture, cod is a versatile fish that pairs well with a variety of sauces and sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party, poached cod is a great choice.
