Tue Sep 22 07:55:01 -0700 2009 103546 Analisas mom 1 5048799 Here's my recipe: http://www.examiner.com/x-4180-Norfolk-Cooking-Examiner~y2009m6d11-Baked-Cod It has a crusty topping that involves lots of nutmeg - surprisingly amazing with fish. It was a family favorite growing up. Tue Sep 22 08:24:02 -0700 2009 5048722 220914 krisrishere 1 5048819 I do mine really basic, but they are flavorful. I'll season AP flour dried chive, garlic powder and onion powder (probably 1 tsp of each in 2 cups of flour, I just wing it really). Salt & pepper your cod filets, then dip them in the flour until coated on both sides. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil to coat. Saute your floured cod filets until each side is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Then, squeeze half of a lemon over the fish (still in the pan), add 1/3 cup of dry white wine and a tablespoon of fresh, chopped herbs of your choice (I use parsley and tarragon). Let simmer for just a minute, take off the heat, remove the fish from the pan and swirl 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the remaining pan liquid. Pour that over the fish. Done.

I did a sort of dry rub (or, a heavy sprinkling) of ras-al-hanout spice mix and a little sesame oil, and let that set a bit on the fish. Then I did a pan-fry of the fillets, skin side down, in a generous amount of olive oil (and covered the pan with a glass lid to keep the splattering to a minimum, while still being able to monitor the fish). When the fish was opaque about half-way up the thickness of the fillet, I added to the pan approx 1/2 cup of chicken stock into which I'd stirred 2 tbsp of pomegranate molasses and a teaspoon of harissa paste. I covered the pan again and let the fish complete the cooking in this sort of steam/poach scenario, sometimes spooning a bit of the cooking liquid over the top of the fillets. (Importantly, I didn't move the fish in the pan once from the beginning of the cooking process until I was ready to plate -- this keeps it from falling apart.) As a side dish, I did a veg medley with chickpeas (zukes, roasted peppers, diced poblano pepper, chopped green beans for crunch, onion, garlic), sauteed, and then finished with a pomegranate broth much like the one for the fish, except with more harissa, and about 2-3 tsp of smoked spanish paprika. It was fast, used what I already had in the house, and was very tasty. FYI, for a good ras-el-hanout recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Moroccan-Spice-Blend-109356 Tue Sep 22 12:55:31 -0700 2009 5048722 47694 litchick 2 5050728 ...And tonight I went with this recipe: http://entertaining.about.com/library/recipes/blpotatocod.htm It worked great, and tasted wonderful. Much easier to make than you'd think. A bIg hit. (Can you tell I have a CSF share? It's cod week!)

Some of the highlights: Steamed cod w/ginger and scallions - one of our family favorites: http://www.semisweetonline.com/2009/09/01/menu-idea-steamed-cod-with-ginger-scallions-asian-slaw-simple-chinese-noodles/ This cod is poached in tomato sauce (jazzed up with harissa cilantro) - another family favorite (my recipe is from a good little book called The Half Hour Cook, but this one is identical): http://www.bingchef.com/node/55 This one's off the back of the Whole Foods frozen cod fillets - we make this frequently and it's good with the texture of the previously-frozen fish: http://www.mealsmatter.org/recipes-meals/recipe/50308 And lastly - this one is great comfort food: http://www.mealsmatter.org/recipes-meals/recipe/24740 Enjoy!

I can't wait to try some of these. Last night I ended up just going with what I had on hand as it was raining and I didn't want to have to go to the market. My cod turned out so good I couldn't beleive it. I usually find cod to be a bit dry and not very tasty however, last night it was so moist and good. I ended up doing a Thai green curry with red bells snow peas an red onions. I topped with Thai basil that Ihave growing in my yard. It was really good then I just did Jasmine rice. I had never used fish with curry but it turned out wonderful. Wed Sep 23 06:33:05 -0700 2009 5048722 103546 Analisas mom
