Roast Cod With Watercress Crushed Potatoes Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED COD CRUSTED WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Pile parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and a little coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop the lemon-garlic mixture, then combine with plain bread crumbs.
• Brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and dip in to the bread crumb herb mixture. Brush a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan then place fillet in the pan, crust side up. Roast fillets in oven until firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes.

POTATO-CRUSTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Season cod with salt on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet and cook cod until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Combine grated potatoes, shallots, and egg in a bowl. Season with parsley, nutmeg, and salt. Spread potato mixture on top side of each cod fillet and sprinkle with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potato crust is lightly browned and cod flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

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.

ROASTED COD WITH POTATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with garlic, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes in a single layer, cut side down. Bake, tossing potatoes once, until beginning to brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub fillets with remaining teaspoon oil; season all sides with salt and pepper.
• Remove baking sheet from oven. Add tomatoes and olives to potatoes; stir to combine. Push vegetable mixture to one side; place fillets flat on baking sheet, next to vegetables. Return to oven, and roast until fish is cooked through and potatoes are brown and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer fish and vegetables to serving platter. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.

ROASTED COD WITH EASY WATERCRESS SAUCE & ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Smear the skin of the cod with the butter and season with sea salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. When very hot add the cod, skin side down, and fry, without moving the fish, until the skin is crisp and golden. Invert on to a shallow ovenproof dish, ready to finish it off in the oven.
• Put the cherry tomatoes in a separate shallow ovenproof dish and drizzle with another 1 tbsp oil.
• To make the sauce, cook the shallots and wine in a small pan for about 2-3 minutes until the wine has almost gone. Tip into a food processor with the crème fraîche and watercress, season with salt and pepper and blitz. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, return to the pan and set aside. Lightly whip the cream until it just holds its shape. (At this stage the cod, sauce and cream can be kept in the fridge, lightly covered with cling film, for up to 4 hours.)
• About 20 minutes before you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Roast the cod and tomatoes for 12-15 minutes until just cooked. Meanwhile, gently reheat the sauce, remove from the heat and fold in the cream. Taste and add more seasoning and lemon juice if necessary. Set the cod on warm dinner plates with the cherry tomatoes and spoonfuls of watercress sauce. Garnish with sprigs of parsley or chervil and serve with buttered new potatoes.

ROAST COD WITH WATERCRESS CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
• Boil the potatoes until tender.
• Drain.
• While the potatoes are cooking, smear an oven tray with about a tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Lay the fish, skin side down, on the oil and smear another tablespoon of the oil over the flesh of the fish.
• Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes, until it flakes easily.
• Meanwhile, discard the thick, woody stems from the watercress.
• Put the remaining oil and garlic in the potato cooking pan (the potatoes should have been drained and removed by this point) and heat for a couple minutes.
• Return the hot potatoes to the pot along with the watercress and use a fork to mash.
• You are not aiming for a smooth mash but rather a crushed texture.
• When the fish is cooked, remove from the oven and carefully drain the juices from the pan into the potatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper and give a final stir.
• To serve, put half of the potatoes on a warmed plate and lay the fish over the top.
• You could sprinkle over an extra glug of oil, if you are a real olive oil fan.

ROAST COD WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large skillet cook the onions and the garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is pale golden. While the onion mixture is cooking, in another large skillet heat the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in batches, turning them, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are pale golden, transferring them as they are cooked to a bowl. Add the onion mixture to the potatoes with the olives, the rosemary, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.
• Put the cod in the center of a large shallow baking dish, season it with salt and pepper, and arrange the potato mixture around it. Roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish just flakes. Flake 2 cups of the cod and reserve it, covered and chilled, for making the cod cannelloni.

• Transfer the fish and vegetables to a serving platter and serve immediately.

PAN-ROASTED COD WITH STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare the potatoes. Put 12 potatoes in sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add salt to taste and cook for three to five minutes, or until barely tender. Drain and keep warm.
• Peel and dice remaining potatoes. Simmer until tender in cold water to cover with salt to taste. Remove, drain and pass through a food mill. Heat milk and an ounce of butter in a small pan. Stir into milled potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.

• Meanwhile, make sauce. Blanche the parsley leaves in boiling water and refresh them in a bowl of cold water. Squeeze them dry and chop the leaves. Place oil in blender with parsley and puree. Set aside. Bring stock to boil in sauce pan with juice and zest of the lemon. Reduce by a third. Gradually whisk in butter, season with salt and pepper and three tablespoons parsley puree.
