Baked Cod Recipe with Lemon and Garlic

Очень вкусная получилась рыба! Делала с махи-махи.

1.5 lb Cod fillet pieces, 4-6 pieces
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Lemon Sauce

5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
5 garlic cloves, minced

For Coating

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground coriander
¾ tsp sweet Spanish paprika
¾ tsp ground cumin
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and melted butter in a shallow bowl (do not add the garlic yet). Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, spices, salt and pepper. Set next to the lemon sauce.
Pat the fish dry. Dip the fish in the lemon sauce then dip it in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Reserve the lemon sauce for later.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat (watch the oil to be sure it is shimmering but not smoking). Add the fish and sear on each side to give it some color, but do not fully cook (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the skillet from heat.
To the remaining lemon sauce, add the minced garlic and mix. Drizzle all over the fish fillets.
Bake in the heated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork (10 minutes should do it, but begin checking earlier). Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Bulgur pilaf with freekeh, aubergine, tomatoes

Нам с Вадимом очень понравилось!


350g/12oz coarse bulgur, rinsed and drained
110g/4oz freekeh, rinsed and drained
3 medium aubergines, quartered and sliced in 1cm chunks
2 medium onions, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, finely diced
3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
½ tbsp. Turkish red pepper paste, biber salcasi
15ml/1tbsp concentrated tomato paste
400g/14oz (1 can of) chopped tomatoes in juice
60ml/ 2fl oz olive oil – for baking the aubergines –
30ml/2tbsp olive oil – for cooking-
900ml / 1.6 pints hot water
5ml/1tsp Turkish red pepper flakes, pul biber
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped – to decorate

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F
First prepare the eggplants (aubergines). Cut the aubergine in quarters and then slice into 1cm with pieces. Layer the aubergine pieces on a tray and sprinkle salt over them, leave them aside for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, dry the aubergines with kitchen or paper towel thoroughly.
Spread the aubergine slices in a baking tray and pour in the 60ml/2floz olive oil over them. Using your hands, make sure that all aubergine slices have a nice coating of the olive oil. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes in the preheated oven at 200C / 400F. Aubergines will start to get crispy around the edges, a nice color and soften up (you can alternatively sauté your aubergines on a pan with olive oil, though I find the baking easier and healthier).
Heat the 2tbsp/30ml olive oil in a heavy, wide pan and sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes, until soft and they begin to color. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, red pepper paste, can of chopped tomatoes, Turkish red pepper flakes, pul biber and combine well.
Toss the sautéed aubergines to the pan and gently combine.
Now stir in the rinsed bulgur and freekeh to the pan and mix well. Pour in the hot water and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, combine well. Reduce the heat to low for simmering.
Place the tomato slices over the top, cover and cook for 30 minutes, until the liquid is evaporated and the grains are cooked (add a little more hot water if needed). Check the seasoning and add more salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Turn the heat off. I like to rest the dish and settle the flavours for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with refreshing Shepherd’s Salad, Coban Salatasi and/or Cacik dip with cucumber and yoghurt aside.
