• preparation

Sushi Rice:
Rinse and drain rice in a colander until water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and cool water in a saucepot. Turn heat to medium high and bring water to a simmer. Turn heat to low, cover and continue cooking another 15 to 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove the pot from the burner, and keep covered, to allow rice to cool for 15 minutes. Turn rice out of pot into a large bowl and gently fluff with a rice spoon to separate the grains. Add vinegar, sugar and salt, and continue fluffing until well blended. Allow rice to cool.

Miso Marinade:
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Oven-Roasted Sweet Miso Cod:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat a grill pan with oil. Grill the cod, skin side up for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the cod over and brush liberally with miso marinade. Place cod in oven and roast until just opaque throughout. Broil cod with a culinary torch or in a salamander to caramelize.

Tsukemono Salad:
Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium size saucepan. Heat slowly to melt sugar and salt until dissolved. Combine vegetables in a stainless steel or glass bowl and pour hot vinegar mixture over vegetables. Toss to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain off vinegar mixture and save for another use.

Sushi Burritos:
Using a culinary torch or a salamander, toast nori sheets on one side only to make nori crispy.
Place a sheet of toasted nori on a flat work space, shiny-side down. Moisten one end and place a second sheet of toasted nori on moistened edge, overlapping sheets by about an inch, so they are end-to-end, forming a long rectangle. Press sushi rice onto nori sheet as you would any sushi roll. Leave 1 inch of nori uncovered on end closest to you. Leave 6 inches of nori uncovered on the opposite end.
Arrange Tsukemono salad on top of rice and pile a generous amount of Japanese mustard greens on top. . Gently break apart miso cod fillet into bite-size pieces and arrange crosswise on rice on the end closest to you. Roll sushi burrito as you would a regular hand roll, taking care to make the burrito tight and compact. Cut the roll in half crosswise for serving.

Serving Suggestion: Mix together wasabi paste and sour cream with Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Dressing & Sauce to taste for a dipping sauce.

Bird's eye chilis range from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville Scale. Compare this to a typical jalapeno pepper, which averages 5,000 SHU, and the bird's eye pepper is anywhere from 10 to 20 times hotter. That's quite a lot of heat!

• Ingredients

1 lb thick cod fillets, skinless and boneless
2 dl of coconut milk
2 small carrots
1 red pepper
4 spring onions
2 pinches of grated lime zest
1 fresh bird's eye chili
4 pinches of curry
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon of peanut oil
1 pinch of salt

• preparation

Peel the spring onions, wash them and cut them into oblique slices, including the green part. Brush the carrots, wash them and cut them into very thin oblique slices. Wash the pepper and cut it into very thin slices. Wash, sort and cut the pepper into strips.
Rinse the fish fillets, pat them dry and cut them into 2 cm wide strips. Heat the oil in a 23 cm cast iron casserole dish and brown the spring onions, carrot and pepper.
Add the coconut milk, lemon zest, chili pepper, salt and curry. Mix and add the cod strips. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Finally add the coriander, mix and remove from the heat. Pour the soup into 4 plates and serve.

Serves: 4

Cheese variation: Replace the parmesan with pecorino or gruyere to vary the flavors.
Lemon alternative: Add a pinch of Espelette pepper or hot pepper to the sauce for a spicy touch that enhances the freshness of the lemon.

• Ingredients

4 cod fillets (about 5oz (150 g) each)
3 oz (100 g) grated parmesan
200 ml thick crème fraîche
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt, pepper

• preparation

1. Prepare the cod:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (thermostat 6).
In a frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Season the cod fillets for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, just to brown them lightly.
Carefully transfer the fish to an ovenproof dish and set aside.

2. Prepare the parmesan and lemon sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat the crème fraîche over low heat.
Add the grated parmesan, chopped garlic, mustard and lemon juice. Mix well to obtain a smooth sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent the sauce from sticking.
Just before turning off the heat, stir in the lemon zest for a touch of freshness.

3. Oven cooking:
Pour the parmesan and lemon sauce generously over the cod fillets.
Place the dish in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Check that the fish is cooked through but still tender.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few moments before serving.

4. Presentation and serving:
Arrange a cod fillet on each plate, topped with the creamy sauce.
Add a few sprigs of parsley for a touch of color.
Serve with steamed vegetables (broccoli, green beans) or mashed potatoes. For a lighter accompaniment, opt for basmati rice or quinoa.

Tips and variations
Cooking tip: For an even more tender fish, cover the dish with aluminum foil before putting it in the oven.
Cheese variation: Replace the parmesan with pecorino or gruyère to vary the flavors.
Lemony alternative: Add a pinch of Espelette pepper to the sauce for a spicy touch that enhances the freshness of the lemon.
Conclusion
Cod with Lemon Parmesan Cream is a dish that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Its perfect balance between the sweetness of the cod, the creaminess of the sauce and the liveliness of the lemon makes it irresistible. Try this recipe to surprise your loved ones or for a gourmet dinner that requires little preparation. Enjoy!

Serves: 4

• Ingredients

2 pounds Cod fillets or any white flaky fresh fish
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the batter:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup ice cold water plus more if needed
Peanut oil for frying

• preparation

Cut fish in 1 1/2 inch strips. Place the cut fish in a plastic bag and season with 1 teaspoon of the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Close the bag and toss the fish until coated. Add in 2 tablespoons of flour and toss again.
For the batter:
Make the batter by placing the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt, and pepper into a large bowl and stir it together. Whisk in the water until it forms a batter similar to the consistency of pancake batter. Add a little more water if you need to get the right consistency.
Heat the oil in a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F, you can also use an electric deep fryer as well.
Place the fish in the batter, mix to combine until all pieces are coated while the oil is heating.
When the oil is hot, add the fish piece by piece into the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan, you will have to do this in batches. Flipping halfway through the cooking process takes about 8-10 minutes total.
When the fish has an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden brown, take out of the oil using tongs and place them on a wire rack over a sheet tray. Sprinkle with more salt immediately out of the oil so it will stick to the fish.
Keep cooking until all the fish is done. Serve with your favorite condiments like cocktail sauce or tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

A West Indian speciality whose recipe is fairly close to guacamole, avocado féroce gets its "ferocious" aspect from the strength of the spice used in its preparation. So you never know quite how ferocious this dish will be!

Whether it's merely fragrant or very spicy, the preparation usually consists of dried cod, local avocado and manioc flour. The cod is first de-salted, crumbled and mixed with the avocado flesh, lime juice, bunching onion, garlic, habanero pepper and manioc flour.

½ lb salt cod , desalted
1 large ripe avocado (about 1 lb/500g or 2 medium avocados)
½ lb tapioca flour (cassava flour)

3 cloves garlic , crushed
½ bunch parsley
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
Juice of 1 lime
Pepper
Salt

• preparation

In a pot, cover the cod with water and bring to boil.
