Pretzel Crusted Cod With Apricot Dijon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• First place chopped shallot and olive oil in a saucepot. Saute the shallot until tender. Add all other ingredients and cook for 20 minutes. Next blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Reserve in a covered container until ready for service.

Steps:

• For the chutney: Combine the apricots, lemon peel and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan set over high heat. Cook until most of the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, oil, vinegar and pepper. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and reserve until ready to serve.
• For the cod: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir the almond butter and olive oil together in a small bowl until smooth. Sprinkle the cod with the salt and pepper. Rub one-quarter of the almond butter mixture over the top of each piece of fish using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the almonds evenly on top, then place the fillets on the prepared pan. Bake until the fish is opaque and the almonds are brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with the apricot chutney.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Toss potatoes with 1/4 cup dressing; spread onto rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 27 min.
• Meanwhile, empty coating mix into pie plate. Brush both sides of fish fillets with remaining dressing. Dip, 1 at a time, in coating mix, turning to coat both sides of each fillet. Place in single layer on separate baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Add fish to oven with potatoes. Bake 10 to 13 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork and potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients.
• Serve fish with potatoes and mayo mixture.

Steps:

• Combine salad dressing and seasoned salt in a small bowl. Pulse pretzels in a food processor until pretzels are finely chopped, leaving some small pieces; this makes about 1 cup. Place in shallow dish.
• Spread each side of fish with salad dressing mixture; coat with crushed pretzels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Saute fish slowly, cooking 3 to 4 minutes per side (or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F) adding additional oil if necessary. Keep fish warm.
• Whisk apricot preserves, Dijon mustard and half-and-half together in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sauce is creamy and thickens slightly. Serve sauce over fish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
