Cod With Mushrooms Garlic And Vermouth Recipes

COD WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC & VERMOUTH

Steps:

• To reconstitute the porcini mushrooms: Soak the mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups of warm broth for about 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour the liquid through a coffee filter, reserving flavorful liquid. Gently rinse the mushrooms under cold water and pat dry. I used the reserved liquid for the quinoa but you may add it to any recipe to achieve an intense mushroom flavor.
• In a heavy 12-inch skillet, melt 3 Tbs. of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring only occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 45 seconds.
• Add the vermouth, 3 Tbs. of the parsley or the white lower part of the green onions, the vinegar, salt, and pepper and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the seasoned cod to the pan ( tuck under the tails if necessary to even out the thickness), scrunch the fillets into the mushrooms then spoon some of the mushrooms and sauce on top.
• Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cover the pan, reduce to medium low, and simmer until just cooked through. Use a pairing knife to check the inside of the fish -- it should just not look raw. This should take about 7 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness.
• With a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to a serving platter.
• Over low heat, whisk the remaining 1 Tbs. butter into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the dish and serve sprinkling the remaining 1/2 Tbs. parsley or the green onions over it.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 45 seconds.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cover the pan, reduce to medium low, and simmer until just cooked through (use the tip of a paring knife to check), 7 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. With a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to serving plates or a platter. Over low heat, whisk the remaining 1 Tbs. butter into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/2 Tbs. parsley.
