Cod Lyonnaise Recipes

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:

• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the saffron and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the potatoes are mostly tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Season the cod with salt, then add to the pot; submerge about halfway in the broth, with the top of the fish exposed. Cover and simmer until the fish is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove with a spatula and transfer to shallow bowls.
• Gently stir the lemon juice into the pot; season with salt and more red pepper flakes. Spoon the vegetables and broth over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut tops off the fennel bulb. Reserve a few tablespoons of fronds (lacy dill-like greens) and chop. Quarter the bulb, then cut into each quarter on an angle to remove the core. Thinly slice the fennel.
• Add extra-virgin olive oil, fennel and onion to the pan and saute them, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add wine and reduce by half. Add potatoes to the pan in thin layers, completely covering the fennel and onions, working all the way to the edges of the pan. Pour the stock evenly over the pan. Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish on the potatoes. Bring the liquids to a bubble. Cover the pan and transfer to oven. Bake fish 15 minutes, until opaque, then uncover and bake for 2 or 3 minutes more. Transfer fish and vegetables to shallow bowls or dinner plates and garnish with parsley and fronds. Spoon juices down over the food. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Preheat oven safe skillet over high heat or wrap rubber handles in double layers of foil to protect the surface in the oven.
• Prick the potatoes 3 or 4 times each with a fork and cook them in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.
• Pat cod dry and squeeze a little lemon juice over it and season with salt. Drizzle fish with extra-virgin olive oil.
• When potatoes cool just enough to handle, slice them into 1/4-inch pieces lengthwise. Coat them with extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. Arrange them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and roast them for 20 minutes. Do not move them or turn them as they cook. Chop tarragon, chives and parsley and combine and reserve.
• Add cod seasoned side down to very hot skillet. Sear it 2 minutes, then drizzle the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and season them with salt and pepper and add them to the fish. Sear tomatoes 1 minute, then transfer the pan to the oven and roast the fish and tomatoes 8 minutes until fish if firm and opaque and tomatoes have all burst.
• Place parsley, mint, chicken stock and shallot in food processor or blender and puree. Transfer to small sauce pot and bring to a simmer. Season the broth with salt and pepper, to your taste.
• Heat the light frying oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic to the hot oil and let it fry until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain garlic chips on a paper towel and reserve.
• When the potatoes are very brown and crisp on the bottom side and tender on the top side, remove. Coat sliced potatoes liberally with the chopped herbs.
• Pour warm pesto broth onto each dinner plate.
• Remove the fish from the oven. The bottom should be crisp and brown. Turn the fish over to place the crispy side up in pools of parsley-mint broth. Arrange the herb potato slices and tomatoes decoratively around the fish. Top the dish off with a scattering of garlic crisps and serve. (You could get $40 a head for this plate! Nice!)
