Chef Boy I Be Illinois Baked Cod Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Combine cod, tomatoes, wine, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in medium sauce pan. Simmer until fish flakes easily, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice potatoes and onion.
• Place half of the potatoes and onion in bottom of greased 10 inch square baking dish, lightly sprinkling with salt and pepper.
• Place flaked cod evenly over the top, and lightly salt and pepper.
• Pour one half of tomato sauce over this.
• Place remaining potatoes and onion on top, sprinkling lightly with salt and pepper, and then the remaining sauce.
• Cover with foil and bake approximately 45 minutes until potatoes are tender.
• Combine breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle over top of casserole and bake uncovered 15 minutes more. Can broil for a couple minutes to brown the top if desired.
• Let stand five minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Soak a 3-litre (3-quart) terracotta baking dish and its cover in water for about 15 minutes. If you are not using a terracotta dish, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) with the rack in the middle position (see note).
• In a skillet over medium heat, caramelize the onions in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Set aside.
• Remove the terracotta dish and cover from the water.
• Cover the bottom of the dish with one quarter of the potato slices.
• Add half the tomatoes and olives. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover with another quarter of the potatoes. Cover with the onion and garlic mixture.
• Cover with another quarter of the potatoes, and then lay the fish on top. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the remaining potatoes, tomatoes and olives.
• Add the broth. Adjust the seasoning.
• Cover the dish and place it in the centre of the oven. Turn the oven on to 200°C (400°F). Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes and serve.
• *Note: If you do not have a terracotta dish, you can use any ovenproof covered baking dish. In that case, preheat the oven and reduce the cooking time to about 1 hour.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Heat 1 T of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onions and cook stirring often, until just starting to soften, 5-7 minutes.
• Add mushrooms until starting to get dry.
• Add wine, increase heat to high and cook, stirring often, until the wine is slightly reduced, 2-4 minutes.
• Place cod on the onions and sprinkle with thyme, salt, pepper, & 2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
• Cover the pan tightly with foil; transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
• Toss the bread with the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil; paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Spread the bread mixture over the fish and top with cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Combine sage, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Cut a lengthwise slit down center of tenderloin to within 1/2 inch of bottom. Open tenderloin so lays flat, then on each half make another lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 inches of bottom. Cover with wax paper and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness. You can use a meat mallet, or do as I do and save an empty wine bottle with a long neck (usually white wine) so you have a place to hold onto while whacking.
• Spread the flattened tenderloin with the spice mixture from the first step, using your palm to cover the entire surface. Then top the seasoned tenderloin with ham slices, the spinach and spread 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano over the spinach, leaving a 1-inch border. Starting with a long side, roll up tenderloin so the stuffing is in a spiral pattern; then tie the roasts at 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. I personally think it's easier to use toothpicks rather than string. Lightly season outside with salt and pepper (don't overdo it because the ham and parm are salty).
• Bake uncovered, at 425°F for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F Transfer to serving platter, and allow to stand for 10 minutes before removing strings (or toothpicks) and slicing into four equal servings.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Sift together the corn meal, flour and sugar.
• Mix the baking soda with the yogurt sour cream and egg.
• Combine the yogurt mixture into the corn meal mixture. The batter will be thick, but don't worry.
• Pour mixture into greased (PAM) 8 inch square pan.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• NOTE: For a more savory corn bread, omit the sugar and try adding any combination of following -- crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, green chilies.

Steps:

• Soak the cod in cold water to cover for 24 to 36 hours, changing the water occasionally, drain. Flake the cod into small pieces, removing any bones. Set aside. In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until slightly golden, about 6 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Grease a medium ovenproof casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
• Spread half of the potatoes over the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle half of the salt cod over the potatoes. Place half of the onion mixture over the salt cod. Top the onion mixture with more salt cod. Place another layer of potatoes over the top of the cod. Drizzle the entire pan with the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Place on a serving platter. Garnish with the sliced eggs, olives, paprika and parsley.
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
