Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 fennel bulb, halved and thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups), fronds reserved
5 ounces Spanish chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
4 skinless cod fillets (each 4 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved, or quartered if large (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (4 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 small orange
Extra-virgin olive oil and toasted sliced baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Fold four 16-by-12-inch pieces of parchment in half; unfold and place one-quarter of fennel and chorizo along each crease. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper; place one fillet on each package. Top with tomatoes, garlic, butter, and wine. Remove zest from orange with a vegetable peeler; thinly slice into strips to yield 1 tablespoon. Scatter evenly among packages; squeeze 1 teaspoon juice over each. Fold parchment over to enclose, making small overlapping folds along edges to seal. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets.
  • Roast, switching rack positions once, until parchment puffs and fish is cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes. Place each package in a shallow bowl and open carefully, allowing steam to escape. Serve with fennel fronds, a drizzle of oil, and toasts.

SAUTéED COD WITH POTATOES IN CHORIZO-MUSSEL BROTH



Sautéed Cod With Potatoes in Chorizo-Mussel Broth image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 17

9 large cloves garlic: 4 unpeeled, 2 thinly sliced and 3 finely minced
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
Salt
3 large shallots, sliced thin, plus 1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound mussels, scrubbed
2 ounces chorizo, preferably Spanish, peeled and sliced thin
1 cup clam juice
5 branches thyme
5 branches rosemary
4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
20 to 24 ounces skinless cod fillet, in 4 portions
Freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

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.

BAKED COD WITH A CHORIZO CRUMB & LEMON AïOLI



Baked cod with a chorizo crumb & lemon aïoli image

White fish and chorizo are a classic Spanish pairing. The spicy sausage adds a lovely rich smokiness to the meaty cod

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g cooking chorizo , skin removed, cut into chunks
50g slightly stale breadcrumb
25g blanched almond , toasted and roughly chopped
zest ½ lemon
1 ½ tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
6 boneless, skinless sustainable cod fillets (about 175g each)
6 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise
½ garlic clove , crushed
2 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Tip the chorizo into a frying pan and cook over a medium heat until it releases its oil and becomes crisp in places. Meanwhile, make the aïoli: stir together the ingredients with some seasoning, then chill.
  • Put the chorizo and its oil in a food processor and pulse until broken into small chunks. Add the breadcrumbs, almonds, lemon zest, seasoning and half the olive oil, then blitz to a crumb.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cod fillets on a lightly greased baking tray, then brush with the remaining oil. Heap the crumbs onto the fish and pat down so that the fillets are well covered. Let them firm up in the fridge for at least 20 mins.
  • When you're ready to cook, pop the fish in the oven for 10-15 mins, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the flesh has turned opaque and the chorizo crumb is golden.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cod: Use fresh or frozen cod fillets that are firm and white. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
  • Soak the cod before cooking: This will help to remove excess salt and make the fish more tender. Soak the cod in cold water for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for fennel, onion, and red pepper, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, carrots, and celery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the fish, make sure to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will steam instead of fry and it won't be as crispy.
  • Serve immediately: Spanish cod with chorizo and fennel is best served immediately after it's cooked. The fish will be crispy and the vegetables will be tender.

Conclusion:

If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish, Spanish cod with chorizo and fennel is a great option. This dish is packed with flavor and it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
