Black Roasted Cod With Sea Beans And Oysters Recipes

BLACK ROASTED COD WITH SEA BEANS AND OYSTERS

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Cook sea beans in a 2-quart saucepan of boiling (unsalted) water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. Quickly transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain, then pat dry with paper towels.
• Drain oysters in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve their liquor.
• Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish, skinned side up, until undersides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn fish over and transfer skillet to oven, then roast until fish is just cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes.
• While cod is roasting, cook shallot in 3 tablespoons butter, covered, in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and oyster liquor and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Add oysters and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, then cook at a bare simmer, covered, until just barely firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Center pieces of cod on 4 large plates (reserve skillet) and arrange sea beans and oysters around fish. Discard fat from 12-inch skillet and add oyster cooking liquid. Bring to a boil over high heat and swirl in remaining tablespoon butter until incorporated. Spoon sauce over seafood and serve immediately.

ROASTED COD WITH LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 4 (15-inch) long sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface. Divide the frozen lima beans among the foil sheets (about 3/4 cup per sheet). Place 1 teaspoon of olive oil 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper on each pile of beans and gently toss to combine. Place 1 piece of fish over each pile of beans. Pour 2 tablespoons of white wine over each of the fish and sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Seal up the foil packets.
• Place the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Gently transfer the beans and fish to a serving plate and serve immediately.

BLACK COD IN A SALT CRUST WITH GREEN TEA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Remove skin and bones from cod steaks, cut in half and shape each half into a medallion. Place each on a 12-inch square of parchment and sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon green tea and 1/2 teaspoon dill. Top each with one fourth of the mushroom mixture and drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sake. Fold up two opposite edges of parchment over the fish and roll to seal. Roll up ends of packet and place each packet on the baking sheet.
• Combine kosher salt, 1/4 cup green-tea leaves and the egg whites and mix with a fork until combined. Pack enough mixture around each packet to completely cover. Bake 17 minutes (if steaks are less than 1 1/2 inches thick, bake 15 minutes).
• Meanwhile, combine yuzu juice, soy and tamari sauces, dashi and oil in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Place each packet on a serving plate, crack open the salt crust and peel back the parchment. Drizzle with yuzu sauce.

ROAST COD WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare the sauce. In a saucepan warm the oil over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic and black beans and saute until shallots soften, about 3 minutes. Add sake, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Cook until sauce reduces by a third, then remove from heat and whisk in butter. Season with pepper.
• To prepare the fish, season it with salt and pepper, and place in a small baking pan. Top with butter and pour wine over. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake 6 minutes more, or until cod flakes easily.
• Reheat sauce until hot. Serve cod over couscous, top with sauce and garnish with fried onions and chives.

BLACK COD WITH CHANTERELLE RAGOUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until beginning to color. Stir in garlic and parsley. Add wine; simmer until almost evaporated, scraping up browned bits in skillet, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil. Place cod, skin side down, in baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until fish is opaque in center, about 20 minutes.

ROASTED COD WITH WHITE BEANS, TOMATO COMPOTE, AND TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the shallots and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium low and cook the tomatoes until all the liquid has evaporated, but the tomatoes are still slightly chunky.
• While the tomatoes are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season both sides of the cod with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and sear each side for about 2 minutes, or until nicely browned. When the fillets are seared, place them on a baking sheet. Put cod in the oven to finish cooking. (According to Chef Ripert, an easy test for doneness is to insert a metal skewer into the center of a fillet for 5 seconds. The fish is done when the skewer goes in easily and, when removed, feels slightly warm to your lip.).
• Place 1/2 cup of the beans in a food processor with the reserved bean-cooking liquid and purée until smooth to make the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To serve, spoon tomato compote in the center of each plate and place a cod fillet on top. Spoon bean sauce outside the compote, and sprinkle reserved whole cooked beans around the fish and over the two sauces. Drizzle with tiny drops of truffle oil.
