Stuffed Olive Cod Recipes

PERFECT TEN BAKED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl; melt in microwave on high, about 30 seconds. Stir buttery round crackers into melted butter.
• Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 7x11-inch baking dish. Melt in the preheated oven, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove dish from oven.
• Coat both sides of cod in melted butter in the baking dish.
• Bake cod in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; top with lemon juice, wine, and cracker mixture. Place back in oven and bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 more minutes.
• Garnish baked cod with parsley and green onion. Serve with lemon wedges.

STUFFED OLIVES

Steps:

• Using a butter knife, simply fill each olive with the desired amount of cream cheese. Serve on a decorative plate!

BAKED STUFFED COD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and thoroughly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray and add the cod fillets.
• Try to choose a dish that will accommodate your fish in a single layer with little or no room left over. If your fillets have thin portions (as most do), it's a good idea to overlap them a bit to keep the thickness somewhat uniform.
• Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon each of the lemon juice and olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil together with the butter over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté just until garlic begins to turn golden (do not brown).
• Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining lemon juice, breadcrumbs and parsley.
• Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the fish and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
• Serve immediately (this dish is served casserole-style - you don't have to portion out individual fillets).

STUFFED-OLIVE COD

Steps:

• Place fillets in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with oregano and salt; top with lemon and shallot., Scatter olives around fish; add water and olive juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; gently cook, covered, 8-10 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

BAKED COD WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish; set aside. Stir together olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, oil, and oregano in a small bowl; set aside.
• Season fish with salt and pepper; place in baking dish. Scatter olive mixture evenly over fish. Top with lemon slices.
• Cover dish with foil. Bake until fish is firm, flaky, and cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve drizzled with juices from dish. Garnish with oregano leaves.

EASY PAN-SEARED COD WITH LEMON, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pat dry the fish fillets very well, then season them generously with salt and pepper and set them aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, olives, and capers.
• Zest the lemon and cut it into thin slices
• Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. It should be large enough to accommodate the fish and the lemon slices. Add the olive oil and, when it gets hot, carefully lower the two fish fillets into the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Using a fish spatula, gently press the fillets against the skillet ensuring that the whole side of the fish is in contact with the heat (this is important especially when cooking fish with the skin still on - it ensures crispy skin). Let the fish cook for about three minutes and then shake the skillet gently to check if the fish releases from the pan. If it does not, let it cook for another 30 seconds (when the fillets form a crust, they will easily release from the pan). Flip the fish to the uncooked side, then add the lemon slices to the pan around the fillets. Cook the fish for two minutes more (the cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish and how well you want the fish cooked). With a fork, check the flesh of the fish to make sure it flakes easily. Flip the slices of lemon. Add the garlic mixture to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds.
• Transfer the fish to two plates and spoon the mixture of olives and capers over the fish. Sprinkle the fillets with the reserved lemon zest and celery leaves. Serve with extra lemon on the side.
