Scrod, a mild white fish found in the North Atlantic, is often cooked with tomatoes, bacon, and sherry to create a flavorful and elegant dish. While the fish itself has a delicate taste that can be easily overwhelmed, the addition of these ingredients brings out its natural sweetness and creates a harmonious blend of flavors. Tomatoes provide a pop of acidity and freshness, while bacon adds a smoky, salty richness. Sherry, with its nutty and slightly sweet notes, adds a touch of sophistication and depth to the dish. When combined, these ingredients create a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

SCROD WITH TOMATOES, BACON, AND SHERRY
Steps:
- In a skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning it, until it is crisp, transfer it with tongs to paper towels to drain, and crumble it. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the skillet and in the remaining fat cook the onion, stirring, until it begins to turn golden. Add the tomatoes, the Sherry, the soy sauce, and the sugar and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, or until it is thickened. Add the scrod and simmer it, covered, for 4 minutes. Turn the scrod and simmer it, covered, for 4 minutes more, or until it just flakes. Transfer the scod with a slotted spatula to 2 plates and keep warm, covered. (If desired, boil the sauce for 1 minute to thicken it slightly.) Spoon the sauce over the scrod and sprinkle the scrod with the bacon.
PAN-SEARED SCROD WITH ROMANO MASHED POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS AND FRESH VEGETABLES WITH A CRISPY BREAD CRUMB TOPPING
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice and zest of 1 lemon. Place the scrod fillets in the bowl and allow the fish to marinate for approximately 20 minutes.

- Serve with Romano Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Vegetables with Crispy Bread Crumbs, and Sauteed Asparagus.
- In a large pot, combine the potatoes and just enough water to cover them. Boil the potatoes over medium-high heat until the water comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling the potatoes until they are fork tender. Drain the water from the pot and add milk to desired creaminess, cheese, parsley and salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mash the ingredients all together with a hand masher until they are all thoroughly combined. Serve with the fish and vegetables.
- In a medium sized saute pan, sear the asparagus spears with olive oil and lemon juice. Cook the asparagus until it is tender. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Reserve the pan of bacon grease and add in the diced red pepper, green pepper, onion, parsley, and garlic. Saute the vegetables in the bacon grease with hot pepper sauce until they are tender.

I like baking the fish in the individual dishes, it keeps the fish moist and keeps the juices from drying up. After you make your way through the crunchy topping and flaky fish, you'll be surprised to find this delicious oniony, lemon goodness awaiting on the bottom which is absolutely incredible. I hope you try this recipe, it really is Wicked Good!
