PORTUGUESE COD FISH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Soak salted cod in cold water overnight or for a few hours. Drain water, repeat. Heat a large pot of water until boiling. Cook cod for 5 minutes; drain and cool, leaving cod in large pieces. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In an 8x11 casserole dish, layer half the potato slices, all of the cod, and all of the onions. Top with remaining potato slices. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato sauce. Pour evenly over casserole.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
• Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
• Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

COD VERA CRUZ

Steps:

• Place fish in a 2-qt shallow baking dish.
• Mix, soup, broth, salsa, lime juice, cilantro, oregano and garlic powder. Pour over fish. Bake at 400 for 20 minute or until fish flakes easily. Serve over rice.

FISH VERA CRUZ

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, boil the tomatoes, jalapenos, oregano, and garlic salt for about 8 minutes, or until tomatoes have cooked down to a liquid. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. *Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return sauce to pan, add chopped onion and cilantro, and stir well. Heat through and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use as little as 2 tablespoons oil to up to 1/2-inch deep). Season fish with salt and pepper and then carefully place in the pan; this may require adding the fish in 2 batches if your skillet is not large enough to hold all 4 fillets. Saute or pan-fry the fish until cooked on 1 side (fish will be opaque on that side). Carefully flip fish and continue cooking until cooked on second side and cooked through in the middle; the fish should be opaque in the middle. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of the fish fillets and the type of fish, but it should not take more than 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer fish onto a serving platter or each of 4 dinner plates and top with the sauce. Serve immediately.

BACALHAU A ALGARVIA - GOLDEN CODFISH WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Day Before: Place the cod pieces in a pyrex dish, large enough so that the pieces can be spread out flat and each be completely covered with water. Let them soak for 12 hours in the fridge, then change the water and leave them for another 12 hours.
• Cook the whole potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for about 20 minutes (done but not overcooked). Remove from the water and peel them while they are hot. Slice them into 1/2 inch cirlces and set aside in a warm place (such as a bowl with a lid). You could complete this step the day before.
• Remove the cod from the fridge, rinse it and pat dry. Remove any bones or tough parts. Cut the fish into 2 inch squares. Dredge the fish pieces in flour.
• In a saute/fry pan, heat about half of the olive oil over a medium flame. Brown the fish pieces, in a single layer, turning them so that they cook evenly. When lightly brown, remove the pieces with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. You may need to do this in a few batches depending on the size of your pan.
• In the remaining oil already in the pan, saute the garlic and onion until lightly brown. Place the cod pieces in the middle of a serving platter and sprinkle the onion and garlic on top. Keep warm in the oven.
• Add the rest of the olive oil to the pan and saute the potato slices until lightly brown. Drain out any remaining oil and then gently toss the potatoes with the parsley. Surround the fish on the platter with the potatoes and serve. Complete the meal with a simple green salad.

BAKED COD WITH POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a large, rectangular baking dish.
• Place the fish in the prepared dish. Arrange potato and onion slices around and on top. Pour enough milk over top to just barely cover. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Dot butter over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes, checking frequently and adding more milk if necessary. Serve in large bowls.
