SAUTéED COD WITH POTATOES IN CHORIZO-MUSSEL BROTH
This recipe came to The Times in 2002 from the French chef Eric Ripert, whose cooking at Le Bernardin carries flavors reminiscent of his culinary training near the Spanish border. Quickly sautéed cod is placed on a bed of potatoes with a savory, supple broth ladled over. It takes not too much time, and it is delicious.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush unpeeled garlic with a teaspoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, bake 40 minutes. Meanwhile, place potatoes in pot of salted water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in 3-quart saucepan. Add sliced shallots and sliced garlic, cook over low heat until soft but not colored, add wine, bring to a simmer and add mussels. Cover and cook until mussels open, about 3 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve, and reserve cooking liquid. Shuck mussels and reserve, covered. Clean pan.
- Place 2 tablespoons oil in mussel pan. Add minced shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until soft. Add chorizo, and sauté until starting to brown. Add clam juice and mussel cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer, add 1 branch each thyme and rosemary, remove from heat, add shucked mussels, and set aside, covered.
- When roasted garlic is done, remove it from foil, and peel cloves. When potatoes are done, drain them, and return them to cooking pot. Mash with a fork, adding roasted garlic cloves, butter, and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Place over low heat, fold in 4 tablespoons parsley, add 2 teaspoons lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Set aside over very low heat.
- Pat fish dry, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. In heavy skillet large enough to hold fish without crowding, add remaining oil. Place over high heat. When oil is hot, sauté fish, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
- Reheat chorizo-mussel broth over low heat, and add remaining lemon juice. Remove thyme and rosemary, and add remaining parsley.
- To serve, place a portion of potatoes in center of each of four shallow soup plates. Place a portion of fish on potatoes. Spoon broth, chorizo and mussels around potatoes, and garnish with thyme and rosemary.

COD AND MUSSEL STEW WITH HARISSA
Uncomplicated, easy main courses are sometimes the most satisfying, and this fish and shellfish stew definitely qualifies. A simple marinade with cilantro, cumin and lemon juice infuses the fish with flavor and a dab of spicy harissa makes the broth sing. Take the time to toast and grind whole cumin, coriander and caraway seeds for deeper flavor.

Steps:
- Make the harissa: In a blender or small food processor, place roasted pepper, garlic, paprika, cumin, caraway, cayenne and salt. Add 1/2 cup oil and pulse briefly to a smooth purée, making sure not to overprocess. Transfer to a bowl. (Alternatively, finely chop the roasted pepper by hand, and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.) Set aside.
- Season fish chunks on both sides with salt and pepper, and place in a bowl. Add garlic, shallot, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, chopped cilantro and red-pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly and leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Set a Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is wavy, add fish chunks in one layer and let sizzle for 1 minute. Add bay leaves and tomato (and any remaining marinade) plus 1 cup water, and bring to a brisk simmer. Set mussels on top of fish chunks and cover pot. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, until mussels have opened. Turn off heat and leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.
- Divide seafood among deep plates or low soup bowls. Ladle juices from pot over each serving. Dollop each serving with about 2 tablespoons harissa. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Pass more harissa at the table.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest fish and seafood possible. This will ensure that your dish is as flavorful as possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fish and seafood. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish and seafood. Fish and seafood are delicate and can easily become tough and rubbery if overcooked.
- Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the dish immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
