Roasted Cod With Garlic Cream Sauce Recipes

BAKED COD IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
• Prepare cream sauce (see instructions below) and set aside, keeping warm.
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and place cod fillets in the dish. Sprinkle with salt.
• Combine melted butter and garlic and brush over fillets, reserving any leftover butter mixture.
• Sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs over fillets and pour remaining butter mixture over the top.
• Pour cream sauce in the spaces between the cod fillets so it fills up the baking dish and just the tops of the fillets are visible.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cream sauce starts bubbling.
• When the sauce starts bubbling up, set oven to "broil" and broil for about 3-5 minutes or until the fillets start to turn golden brown.
• Keep a CLOSE eye on it to make sure it doesn't start to burn.
• Remove from oven and serve with potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

BAKED COD RECIPE WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
• In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
• Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
• To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
• Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

ROASTED COD WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap garlic in foil and bake for 35 minutes. Cool garlic, cut top off its head, and use a knife to squeeze garlic from peel. Prepare the cream sauce in a heavy saucepan. Cook garlic, cream, potato, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste over low heat until potatoes are almost done, 5-7 minutes. Place a third of the cod in a roasting pan, pour cream mixture over it, and bake until the fish is completely cooked, 10-15 minutes. Strain sauce into medium-size saucepan, discard thyme, and reserve vegetables and fish. Over moderate heat, reduce sauce by half, remove from heat, add vegetables, flake fish into sauce, then cover and keep warm. Lower oven to 350 degrees F. Season remaining cod with salt and pepper. Heat peanut oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Brown fish on both sides, then roast in oven for 10 minutes or until firm. Meanwhile, reheat sauce over a low flame. To serve, spoon sauce on bottom of large serving platter and place roasted filets on top. Place dollops of tapenade on top of fish and serve.
