Cod With Brown Butter And Capers Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400. Bring pot of water to a boil and add pasta of choice. Cook per pasta directions.
• 2. Cut cod in half, making two 1/2 lb portions. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 3 T of the butter and swirl skillet to coat.
• 3. Measure out cornstarch, garlic salt and pepper onto a plate and mix well. Dredge fish in the cornstarch mixture.
• 4. Place fish in the heated skillet and don't move for 3 minutes.
• 5. Turn fish to other side. Remove from heat and place in oven. Oven time will depend on the thickness of the cut of fish.
• 6. When fish is cooked through, place on a plate and cover with foil. Drain pasta.
• 7. Add remaining butter to skillet. Stir frequently, allowing butter to brown slightly. Add capers and stir.
• 8. Plate pasta. Top with fish. Spoon butter caper sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with paper towels, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large sauté pan or nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. After 30 seconds, add scallops; do not crowd pan, work in batches if necessary. Sauté until well browned, about 2 minutes, then turn and cook other side. When second side is dark golden, transfer scallops to a platter; cover and keep warm.
• Return sauté pan to heat, add butter, and cook until it begins to foam and turn golden. Add shallot and capers, sauté for 1 minute, then add lemon juice (being careful to avoid sputtering butter) and chopped parsley.
• To serve, place 3 scallops on each of 4 warmed plates. Spoon butter, shallots and capers over scallops, and serve.

Steps:

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic pepper and lemon zest. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45-60 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir in capers., Place cod in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Spoon butter mixture over fillets. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Put fish on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Make the nori oil: Place crumbled seaweed snacks in a blender or mini food processor. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and continue to blend until the oil is black, 1 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed. (Because there's such a small amount of liquid, you may need to stir a lot in between pulses. If you like, you can double the ingredients and save some for next time; it will keep for at least a few weeks in the fridge.) When the oil is well blended, stir in a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside.
• Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil all over fish. Thinly slice 1 1/2 lemons. (Save the other lemon half for serving.) Arrange lemon slices on top of the fish. Roast until the fish is opaque and just cooked through but not yet flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fish. Remove from oven and brush two-thirds of the nori oil on top of fish; set aside to rest while preparing the butter.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Add parsley and capers, and cook for another minute. (Be careful when adding capers, as they may splatter once they hit the hot butter.) Pour the sizzling butter mixture over the fish and squeeze a little lemon juice from the reserved half on top. Serve immediately with remaining nori oil on the side for more drizzling.

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place cod on baking sheet; season both sides with salt and pepper. Broil until opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together butter, capers, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Top cod with a dollop of caper butter; serve with lemon wedges.
