Parmigiano Reggiano Baked Cod Food

CREAMY COD AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While potatoes simmer, trim, bone, and cut the cod fillets across into 2-inch pieces.
• Drain potatoes well and return to the pot. Add a pinch of cayenne, salt, and 4 tablespoons butter. Mash until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 individual-sized casserole or baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter. Place both dishes on a baking sheet.
• Transfer about 2/3 cup of the mashed potatoes into each of the prepared dishes. Smooth out evenly and make a shallow depression with a spoon down the middle. Set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots in the hot butter with a pinch of salt until they just start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Add cod and wait for the sauce to come back to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, while basting with the sauce; turn and cook for 1 minute more.
• Pour in lemon juice and turn off the heat; stir for about 30 seconds.
• Divide the pieces of cod over the potato. Add enough sauce to just cover the fish and return the pan to the stove.
• Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in tarragon.
• Spoon the thickened sauce over the cod. Add a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cod is cooked through and the sauce is browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

PANKO PARMESAN BAKED COD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easiest clean up.
• In a small bowl combine Panko, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Add olive oil (or melted butter) and combine breadcrumbs until moist.
• Place cod fillets on baking sheet, dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Divide the parmesan topping evenly onto each fillet, pressing to adhere to fish.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes until the fish is opaque and just cooked through and flakes easily when cut into with a fork. Topping will be golden brown. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the filets. Be careful not to overcook as fish will turn out tough.
• Meanwhile, make browned butter lemon garlic sauce if desired. Place butter in small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, until it foams, swirling until it starts to brown and has a nutty aroma. Stir in garlic and saute for 30-60 seconds, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside until serving with fish.
• To serve fish, using a spatula, carefully remove fish from pan to plate, drizzle with a little browned butter lemon sauce and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts or a salad.

PARMIGIANO REGGIANO

Steps:

• Parmigiano Reggiano is from Italy it's been made for over 1,000 years . It's produced traditionally in copper vats and the aging process takes a minimum of 12 months although I like it aged for 24 months. Look for the pin dot marking on the rind so you know you have authentic Parmigiano Reggiano.

• In a casserole dish, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
• Cut cod fillets into 6 ounce pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper and add to casserole dish. Cook for 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, add freshly grated parmesan, garlic, rosemary, panko, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, lemon zest, and melted butter. Mix well to coat. Set aside.
• Remove fish from oven and pour lemon juice on fillets. Carefully add panko parmesan mixture on top. Gently push on the top to set the crust.
• Place in oven and cook for 11 minutes. If fillets are thicker, you may have to cook for 1-2 minutes longer.

• When the water is boiling, salt it generously and add the ziti. Undercook the pasta slightly so that it's a bit toothier than al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well.
• Add the pasta to the cream mixture. Divide among four individual shallow ceramic gratin dishes (6 to 8 inches wide). Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and dot with the butter.
• Bake until the pasta is bubbly and hot and the edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Don't overbake or the sauce may separate. Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
