Poached Cod with Parsley Sauce image

Creamy parsley sauce -- here, over cod -- is an old English favorite. The herb is stirred in at the end, so it maintains its vibrant flavor and color. This main dish is delicious served with boiled potatoes or rice.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 strip lemon peel (3 inches)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/2 cup whole milk
4 cod fillets (5 ounces each), skinned
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fish or vegetable stock
Coarse salt
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add flour; whisk until a paste forms. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking, 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, pour in milk in a slow, steady stream; whisk until incorporated. Whisk in stock. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in parsley and chives.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 quarts water, the lemon peel, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saute pan or other wide straight-sided pan. Place fillets in liquid (do not crowd). Return to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let stand until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Reheat sauce over medium-low heat, if necessary, and add remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Gently lift fillets from liquid with a slotted spatula; place a fillet on each of four plates. Spoon one-quarter of sauce over each serving, and garnish with a parsley sprig.

2 cod fillets, about 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons capers

POACHED COD WITH LEMON-BUTTER SAUCE



Poached Cod With Lemon-Butter Sauce image

From Pierre Franey, a very simple presentation of cod that really brings out the best in the fish. Delicious with a rich, spicy vegetable dish. If you want to concentrate the lemon flavor, grate a little lemon peel over the finished cod. You can also add chopped capers to the sauce.

POACHED COD WITH LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE



Poached Cod With Lemon-Parsley Sauce image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 cups water
6 pieces codfish, preferably the thick, back fillets (about 1 3/4 pounds total, each 4 to 5 ounces and 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Mix the lemon-parsley sauce ingredients together thoroughly in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • At serving time, bring the 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Holding the fish fillets with a slotted spoon or skimmer, lower them individually into the pan, and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, and poach the fish, cooking the pieces at a very light boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are barely cooked through.
  • Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, lift the fish from the water, drain thoroughly, and arrange one fillet on each of six warm plates. Press the fish lightly with a spatula or fork to make it separate a little into flakes, which will permit the sauce to be absorbed and to penetrate the interior of the fish.
  • Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
