Roasted Chatham Cod Provencal Style Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 550 degrees. Cut the mushroom caps in half, then cut them across into 1/8-inch wide slices. Set aside. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and grease the paper with olive oil. Cut off the thin tail section of each cod fillet and place 1 fillet on each baking sheet, on the diagonal, if necessary, to make them fit. Season the cod with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the rosemary and thyme. Make alternating rows of chorizo, tomato, and mushroom slices across each fillet until the cod is completely covered. Scatter the garlic over the fish, then sprinkle it generously with cayenne. Sprinkle the parsley and scallions over the fillets and season with salt. Place the lemon slices down the center of each fillet and drizzle olive oil over all. (The recipe can be made to this point up to 2 hours ahead: refrigerate). Roast the cod for about 25 minutes until cooked through, spooning the oil that accumulates on the baking sheet over the fish from time to time. Halfway through the cooking, switch the positions of the baking sheets in the oven. To check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center of the fish for 5 seconds. The fish is done when the skewer goes in easily and then feels hot when touched to your lip. Spoon the oil on the baking sheet over the fish and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over each fillet. Slide the cod, with the parchment, onto 2 large serving platters.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes with their skin on. Remove the potatoes from the heat after 15 to 20 minutes, or when ready (for this salad, the potatoes should be almost fully cooked through but still very slightly undercooked in the center). Cool. Then, peel and cut into small dice.
• Lightly salt and sear the cod on all sides in a hot pan until you get a nice toasted brown crust on all sides, and it just cooks through (approximately 2 minutes on each side).Then flake the cod and set aside.
• Peel the oranges, remove the segments (without the membranes), reserve 16 segments whole and roughly chop the rest into chunky pieces.
• Finely chop the onion.
• Remove the seeds from the tomatoes and chop them as finely as possible.
• In a bowl, combine the diced potatoes, flaked cod, chopped onion, chopped orange pieces and chopped tomatoes. Dress the ingredients right in the bowl, with the chopped olives, olive oil, white wine vinegar, Espelette pepper and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste. Fold together the ingredients to incorporate all the flavors well and chill for at least an hour.
• To serve, place individual cylinder molds in the center of each plate. Lightly pack the cod salad into molds. Place 4 reserved whole orange segments on top of each cod salad and tumble over about a dozen pomegranate seeds. Unmold the salads and serve chilled.

Steps:

• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Toss the cashews and coconut with the oil, curry powder and salt in the baking pan. Bake, stirring once or twice, until the coconut is golden brown, about 5 minutes (be careful, it can burn quickly towards the end). Stir in the lime zest and cool completely. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
• For the fish: Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Drizzle the parchment with olive oil and place the fish on top. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, turning the fillets to coat them with the oil. Sprinkle the top of the fish with the coriander and curry powder, then roast until the cod is just cooked through and flakes apart easily, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Serve the fish with the cashew coconut topping and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange fillets in 8x8x2 inch square baking dish.
• Saute onion and garlic in oil in medium-size skillet over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly softened. Add tomatoes, capers, basil, olives, lemon juice, oregano, salt if using and pepper.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally for approximately 8 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the fish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place cod fillets in a nonreactive dish, and squeeze lemon on top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions; cook until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Top with half the zucchini, tomatoes, and thyme. Drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Add cod and remaining zucchini, tomatoes, thyme, oil, and salt. Season with pepper.
• Bake, covered, for 10 minutes. Baste with the juices, and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more.
