Air Fried Sesame Crusted Cod With Snap Peas Food

AIR-FRIED SESAME-CRUSTED COD WITH SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Brush the air fryer basket with vegetable oil and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Thaw fish if frozen; blot dry with paper towels, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Stir together butter and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture for the fish. Toss peas and garlic with remaining butter mixture and place in the air fryer basket.
• Cook peas in the preheated air fryer in batches, if needed, until just tender, tossing once, about 10 minutes. Remove and keep warm while cooking fish.
• Brush fish with 1/2 of the remaining butter mixture. Place fillets in air fryer basket. Cook 4 minutes; turn fish. Brush with remaining butter mixture. Cook 5 to 6 minutes more or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. Serve with snap peas and orange wedges.

SAUTEED COD ON SNOW PEAS AND CABBAGE WITH MISO SESAME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette:
• Purée all vinaigrette ingredients in a blender until smooth.
• Sauté cabbage:
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic until golden, about 30 seconds. Add cabbages and snow peas and sauté until cabbages are wilted and peas are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a bowl, then wipe skillet clean.
• Cook fish:
• Heat oil in skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté cod, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
• Divide cabbage among 4 plates, then top with fish and drizzle with some dressing. Serve remainder on the side.

SESAME-CRUSTED, PAN-SEARED COD WITH ASIAN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl add ginger, garlic, green onion, cilantro, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy, 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Whisk ingredients together.
• Season Cod with salt and pepper.
• Place sesame seeds on a plate. Pat down top and bottom side of each cod in sesame seeds.
• In a saute pan, over medium-high heat add remaining tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add cod placing them sesame-crusted side down. Sear for approximately 1 minute, or until sesame seeds brown. Turn and sear on other sesame-crusted side for 1 more minute.
• Spoon vinaigrette on serving plate and place cod on top.

SESAME CRUSTED FISH

Steps:

• Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.
• Drain and dust the fish in flour.
• Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.
• Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.
• Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!
• You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.
