Codfish In Ginger Soy Cream Recipes

ROASTED COD WITH SOY-GINGER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 230°C (450 °F)
• Mix the softened butter, soy sauce, green onions, grated ginger and lemon juice together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Season the cod with salt and pepper.
• Lightly coat the base of a cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet that can go in the oven with olive oil and place the pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the seasoned cod and cook for 2-3 minutes until the fish begins to color. Carefully turn the cod over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Place a generous dollop of the butter mixture on top of each of the fish fillets. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 2 to 4 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through and opaque in the center.
• Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a serving dish. Keep warm. Return the skillet to the stove top over medium heat. Add another dollop butter to the pan and melt, stirring with the cooking juices.
• Spoon the pan butter over the fish and serve immediately.

BAKED FISH WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Combine ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl, then rub the mixture on the fillets, massaging with fingers to coat evenly.
• Place the fish in one layer in a baking dish, and tightly cover the dish with foil. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before baking.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the fish on the top rack for 10 minutes. Remove foil and check to make sure the fish is cooked through. Return to oven for 1 or 2 more minutes, if necessary.
• Transfer the fish to plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and garnish with a few slices pickled ginger. Serve with stir-fried spinach and steamed rice, if desired.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
• Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
• Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

BAKED FISH IN SOY GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
• Place fish fillets in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish.
• Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in one cup boiling water, and set aside.
• Clean the scallions, and cut each in half (basically, separating white part from green); slice the green portions, then cut the white portion in matchstick-size pieces.
• Keep these apart, you will be using them separately.
• Slice the ginger into matchstick-size pieces.
• From the one cup bouillon, remove 1/4 cup and pour this over the fish; sprinkle the fillets with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper if using, then top with the green portion of the scallions.
• Place, covered, in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining bouillon with the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch and 2 TBS water; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a small non-stick skillet.
• Add the scallion strips and the ginger and cook until golden (just a few minutes).
• Give the soy mixture a good stir, then add to the skillet.
• Heat to boiling, and boil stirring for 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened.
• Remove fish from oven and onto serving plates.
• Serve sauce over the fish.

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.

SOY AND GINGER FISH

Steps:

• Heat the oils in a skillet over med-high heat.
• Add ginger and chillies and cook for 2 mins, until crisp.
• Add soy sauce, wine and sugar to skillet and simmer 1 min, until sauce has thickened slightly.
• Add the fish, cook in the sauce for approx 3 mins each side or until cooked.
• Serve immediately on top of steamed rice with steamed greens.
• Optional: Sometimes I add some garlic too, together with the ginger and chillies.

CODFISH WITH CREAM

Steps:

• Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the potatoes in the hot oil until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven or heat-proof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cod and cook another 3 minutes; stir the potatoes into the mixture and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

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.

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER, SCALLIONS, AND SOY

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
• 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
• 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
• 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.
