POTATO CRUSTED COD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Potato Crusted Cod Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-100232

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup olive oil
1 bundle fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Zest of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 Tablespoon fennel seed
Pinch crushed red pepper
3 Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
4 (6 oz.) cod fillets - 1 per person
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Several hours before preparing the fish, place the olive oil in a small heavy-bottom sauce pan. Add thyme (I tie it up in a bundle with kitchen string for ease) bay leaves, lemon zest (use a potato peeler to create large pieces), garlic, fennel seed, and red pepper. Bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to stand for 1 hour before straining for use. Using a mandoline slicer, slice 1 potato as thin as possible (slices should be thin enough to read through). To prevent the potatoes from turning brown, prepare only one filet at a time. Do not rinse the potatoes, the natural starches will help to hold the potatoes together. Lay the potato slices out on a piece of parchment paper, overlapping by about half to make a mat that is roughly 4″ x 6″. Brush the potatoes with the infused olive oil. Lightly salt. Lightly sprinkle a fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fish in the center of the mat, and using the parchment paper fold the right side over the filet. Use the paper to lightly press the potatoes on to the fish. Carefully peel back the paper and repeat the process with the left side, pressing to seal the potatoes around the fish. Lightly brush the outside with the infused oil. Transfer on to a piece of plastic wrap and roll just tight enough to hold everything in place. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cooking. When ready to prepare, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the infused oil so that the bottom of the pan is generously coated. When the oil is shimmering, add the fish and cook for about 3 -4 minutes, carefully turn the fish and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes. Use a spoon to "baste" the fish with the infused oil as it cooks. This will help to create the crisp "fish scale" crust. When potatoes are golden brown, the fish will be ready. Transfer to a plate and serve. I would suggest a side salad with a bit of tang or acid to compliment the fish. Enjoy!

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a combination of bread crumbs and panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese breadcrumbs that are larger and flakier than traditional breadcrumbs, and they create a crispier crust.
  • To add more flavor to the crust, add some grated Parmesan cheese, dried herbs, or spices to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Make sure the fish is completely dry before coating it in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the coating adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or spray the pan with cooking spray before adding the fish.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Potato crusted cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and it is a healthy alternative to traditional fried fish. With a few tips, you can create a crispy and flavorful crust that will keep your family coming back for more.
