Hey Clarissa I actually just bought cod today and was trying to figure out what to do with it other than battered. Could I get ur recipe.
TIA

I would, except I've never made this recipe before. Wouldn't you prefer something tried and true, with such an expensive ingredient?

Oldyoung, maybe I can pay you back...

TROPICAL SALAD (Tastebuds restaurant)

Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD:
1 head Romaine lettuce
2 ripe mangos, cubed
1 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1 cup craisins
1 cup ground hazelnuts
4 red apples, sliced into thin wedges
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

FOR THE DRESSING:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup your favorite apricot preserves
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. white vinegar

Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apricot preserves, garlic powder and white vinegar. Using a hand blender, blend your mayonnaise mixture until it becomes creamy smooth. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, toss together the lettuce, mango cubes, sliced almonds and craisins. Then place the lettuce mixture on a platter or on individual salad plates. Take apple wedges and surround the platter with the apple slices, creating a sun effect. Top lettuce mixture with the strawberries and sprinkle the ground hazelnuts generously over salad.
Serve with the apricot dressing.
MAKES 4 SERVINGS

I made this last Shabbos, and it is very good!

the cod was on sale only 5 dollars a pound so it was actually cheaper than my regular salmon and so far ur recipe's have not disappointed.

Great price. Okay, here's the recipe for tonight:

OVEN-ROASTED HALIBUT (I'm using cod) WITH HERB CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
from Fresh and Fast, by Marie Simmons

4 pieces halibut steak or thick portion of fillet, 3/4 inch thick (about 6 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Herb Citrus Vinaigrette:
3/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons ice water
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 small garlic clove, crushed through a press
1 Tablespoon minced sun-dried tomato (packed in oil or dry and reconstituted in boiling water for 5 minutes)
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from the stems
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 very thin slices of lemon, for garnish (optional)
Herb sprigs, for garnish (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange the fish in a large baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake just until the center turns from translucent to opaque, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, make the Herb Citrus Vinaigrette: Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, water, lemon and orange zests and garlic. Stir in the sun-dried tomato, basil, parsley, dill and thyme. Add salt and pepper.

3. Transfer the fish to a platter or individual serving plates and spoon the vinaigrette on top. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, garnished with lemon slices and herb sprigs, if using.

Serves 4

(Personal note -- I love citrus juices and will probably use more. Husband loves sun-dried tomato, so I'll probably use more of that, as well)

Hi,

Cookielady could you please post your recipe for lemon wine sauce cutlets.

Thanks.

Flatten cutlets. Dredge in flour, with salt and peper. Brown quickly on both sides in a skillet with oil. Place in a baking pan. Preheat oven to 350. Mix 1 1/2 T. lemon juice, 1/2 cup chicken soup, 1/2 cup white wine. Pour over chicken. Bake for around 25-30 minutes.

If you like mushrooms, they are great in this as well.

You're quite welcome. If you have everything, then you're obviously like me -- you like to have lots of stuff on hand, which is good. We did have to buy some fresh herbs (and a few other things) but I decided to use dried thyme and basil, because basil is still really expensive and I like to use very little thyme, usually. I can't wait until basil prices come down this summer. Even with a couple of dried herbs subbed in, I think it'll be tasty -- I love fresh dill, so that'll be the star. My dream would be to grow fresh herbs in my apartment, to save $.
