Honey Chive Codfish Recipes

HONEY-ORANGE GLAZED COD

Steps:

• Set an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray and place fillets on top.
• Combine marmalade, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, sesame oil, soy sauce, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.
• Broil cod in the preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Brush 1/2 of the honey-orange glaze on top and broil until fish flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes more. Adjust timing depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Garnish with parsley.

COD WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Brush each fillet with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place each fillet in the center of an aluminum foil square. Lay lemon slices down the length of each fillet and sprinkle garlic slices and chives over the top. Fold foil over the fish and turn the edges over 2 or 3 times; flatten to seal the packets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

SEARED COD WITH CHIVE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the fillets on a sheet tray or rack so the fish can release its natural juices.
• Place the bread crumbs into a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish add 2 beaten eggs. Season both sides of the fillet with salt and pepper. Once seasoned, brush the belly side of the cod with the egg. Dip the egg side into the bread crumbs.
• In a cast iron skillet add grapeseed oil. Before placing fish into pan, make sure the skillet is very hot. Sear only 1 side of the fish (the side with the bread crumbs). Once 1 side is seared, place the skillet in the oven for about 3 to 4 minutes until cooked.
• Once the fish is cooked, flip it over and add the lemon juice, butter and sprig of thyme. Let melt and baste the fish with the juice.
• Pour over the Butter Sauce and serve.
• In saucepan, add wine, sprigs of thyme, shallot and garlic. Set on back burner to allow the wine to reduce. Once the sauce is reduced to a syrup, strain and add the heavy cream, and lemon juice and bring to a slight simmer.
• Whisk in cold butter and once melted add the fresh chives and season with black pepper.

CODFISH WITH BROCCOLI DI RAPE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the rape. When the water comes back to a boil, drain the rape and set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and hot pepper and cook until the garlic takes on color, about 3 minutes.
• In a large baking pan, dribble the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the drained rape, the olives, and the cooked garlic and olive oil.
• Place the rape in the oven and bake it for 10 minutes, until the rape is tender when pierced with a fork. (It's fine if the rape overcooks. The leaves will get a little crispy, but the taste will be sweeter.)
• Remove the rape from the oven and push aside the vegetable to make room for the codfish steaks.
• Nestle them into the pan, season to taste with the salt, and return the pan to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked.
• Garnish the fish with extra virgin olive oil and serve. Serves 4.

HONEYED HARISSA COD WITH CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pat the chickpeas dry with kitchen paper, and tip into a small roasting tin with the oil. Season well and toss together. Cook for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the chickpeas start to crisp up and split.
• Mix the runny honey, harissa, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and add to the chickpeas in the roasting tin. Spoon over most of the dressing and bake for another 6-8 mins until the fish is flaky when pressed, and cooked through.
• While the fish is baking, cook the beans in boiling salted water for 4-6 mins until just tender. Serve over the chickpeas alongside the fish, with the remaining harissa-honey dressing on the side to serve.
