Baked Cod With Ginger And Scallions Recipes

STEAMED COD WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger.
• Season both sides of 4 skinless cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces each) with coarse salt and ground pepper; place in skillet with vinegar mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover; cook until fish is almost opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut green parts of 6 scallions into 3-inch lengths; thinly slice lengthwise. Scatter over fish; cook (covered) until fish is opaque throughout and scallions are just wilted, about 2 minutes more.

BAKED COD WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Arrange each cod serving in the center of its own large square of foil. Scatter over the ginger, scallions and garlic. Combine the soy sauce, vinegar and oil and drizzle over each piece of fish. Sprinkle with a few red pepper flakes. Pull the corners of the foil together and fold over the edges to make a tent around each fillet. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve the bundles whole.

GINGER-GLAZED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Season both sides of the fish lightly with salt and pepper and place in the dish. Set aside.
• Mix together the lime juice, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and chile sauce in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze evenly over each cod fillet. Reserve any leftover glaze for serving.
• Bake in the oven until fish is opaque and just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Garnish cod with mint and scallions, if desired.

COD CAKES WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Boil the potato in salted water to cover until it is tender but not mushy, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the fish in a skillet that can later be covered. Add water to cover, salt the water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, turn off the heat, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fish to a bowl.
• When the potato is done, peel it and mash it with the fish. Add the ginger, cilantro, and chile along with some salt and pepper to taste and work the mixture with your hands until it is well blended. Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
• Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush the patties on both sides with the oil, then place on a nonstick baking sheet. Broil carefully until nicely browned on top, then turn and brown on the other side. Sprinkle with more cilantro and serve hot, with lime wedges.
• Variations
• Panfried Fish Cakes: Increase the oil to 1/3 cup, or more if necessary. Heat about 1/16 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot (a pinch of the fish mixture will sizzle immediately), add the cakes. Cook, turning once, until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Substitute minced garlic, shallot, scallion, or onion for the ginger and parsley for the cilantro.
• Season with a grating of nutmeg or a teaspoon or more of curry powder (in place of the seasonings in the original recipe).
• Add 1/4 cup or more sour cream and a little butter to the potato as you mash it.
• Add minced yellow or red bell pepper to the mix.
• Serve with Mayonnaise (page 305) or tartar sauce (page 306), Worcestershire sauce, or any other condiment
