Cod recipes

I've got loads of cod in the freezer.

Apart from poached cod with veg, and grilled cod with veg, what other nice low calorie healthy meals can I make with it?

Moroccan Fish Tagine

2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp ground paprika
1 small red chilli (optional)
2 tbsp tomato puree
4 tbsp lemon juice
4 cutlets of Cod, about 175g/6 oz each
350g/12oz ttomatoes, sliced
2 green peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
salt and black pepper chopped fresh coriander, to garnish.

1. Mix together the garlic, cumin, paprika, chilli, tomato puree and lemon juice. Spread this mixture over the cod, then cover and chill for about 30 minutes to let the flavour penetrant.

2. Preheat the oven to 200C/ 400F Gas 6. Arrange half the tomatoes and peppers in a baking dish.

3. Cover with the fish, in one layer, then arrange the remaining tomatoes and pepper on top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes, until the fish is tender. Sprinkle with chopped coriander to serve.

I do this served with couscous

 

Are we eating Cod again now? Is the campaign over? If so, I do wish I had been told as I keep turning down Cod!

 

Only the ones in Clue's freezer, don't think there's any left in the North Sea.

 

There are certanly none in the Bristol Channel. Been out twice and came back empty handed both times. But I did pick up a 14lb Pollock.

Cheers, Tony.

Nice one Tony, bet that took some getting in

 

I believe Cod has now recovered but you still have to be sure it`s a sustainable source.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions and links

Today I made a sort of fruity fish curry, not from a recipe, I just made it up as I went along. It was delicious

Its all imported from Iceland (the country, not the shop). They're doing alright with their cod stocks because they don't have to follow the stupid EU rules that say you have to throw fish back after you've already killed them.

 

I like to poach my fish for about 10 mins in milk. The fish then flakes easily into the bottom of a foil tray. I then use the milk to make a simple white sauce with added cheese and parsley. The sauce goes over the fish. Then a layer of mashed potato, sweet potato and chive is nice and also looks colourful. I then top the whole thing with a layer of chorizo flavoured breadcrumbs. When the time comes it can be cooked in the oven for about 40 mins. Very nice and very colourful.

(Chorizo flavoured breadcrumbs are scrummy )

I like making a foil container for any fish and putting in anything flavoursome with it.

Take a large sheet of tinfoil, about double the width and length of the fish. lay it on an oven tray. blob a few drops of oil on the bottom (not much, just so fish doesn't stick), can use any oil, peanut, sesame, olive, rapeseed, anything! Put fish on this.

Add on top any herbs, juices, flavourings or spices you would like- lemon slices and dill work well, Basil and tomato, oregano, or turmeric and orange, cumin, ras-el-hanout (lovely Moroccan spices!) or a bit of pomegranate molasses or honey. Another nice one is soy sauce, lemon, ginger and honey!

Bring the front and back of the foil up around the fish and fold them together a few times. Then bring the side ends up and scrunch it all together so the fish is sealed in its own foil container. Leave a bit of room between the top scrunches and the fish, the idea is that the fish cooks in its own juices and those that you have put in there!

Pop in the oven, medium to high heat for between 12 and 20 min (depending on how thick the fish is). Can also cook on a BBQ or in the embers of a fire!

Be careful when opening it up, as there will be lots of steam!! Always makes a nice tasty and well cooked fish though. You can use whole or fillets, skin on or off, frozen or fresh, if frozen just cook for 20-30 min instead!
