Cod"s Winning Flavor Never Fails to Please a Hungry Crowd
Genuine Alaska cod possesses a mild flavor that is pleasing to both seafood aficionados as well as individuals who are a bit more hesitant when approaching fish.
Cod requires little seasoning for a successful meal to be created but also works very well with elaborate sauces.
The mild taste of the fish means that it will not overpower other ingredients and will instead blend harmoniously with the other flavors that are being introduced.
One great recipe that showcases the versatility of cod is seared cod with spicy mussel aioli.
This is a wonderful dish to prepare when entertaining a group of guests with more adventurous palettes that are not afraid of a little heat.
This recipe calls for two dozen mussels, four skinless genuine Alaska cod fillets, 1/3 cup dry white wine, cayenne pepper, two teaspoons fresh lemon juice, two minced garlic cloves, salt, ½ cup mayonnaise, two tablespoons chopped parsley, one roasted red pepper cut into thin strips, fresh ground black pepper, and one tablespoon vegetable oil.
This array of colorful ingredients make for a wonderful seafood dish that is full of flavor and has a nice kick of spice added to keep everyone's taste buds alert and ready for more.
The best part about this meal is the relative ease with which it is prepared.
To begin this genuine Alaska cod recipe, pour the white wine into a medium saucepan and place it over high heat adding the mussels when the wine has been brought to a boil.
Cover the pan and allow the mussels to cook for about three minutes or until they open, then place them in a bowl on the side.
After shelling the mussels, rinse out the pan and pour the mussel liquid into the pan.
Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley together in a small bowl, throwing in the salt, cayenne, and pepper to taste.
While heating the oil in a large skillet, season the fillets with salt and pepper.
Place the genuine Alaska cod fillets in the skillet and cook them for around four minutes on each side until the flesh is lightly browned.
Bring the mussel liquid to a boil and then remove the pan from the heat, whisking in the mayonnaise mixture.
Stir the mussels into the sauce and place the cooked cod into shallow bowls.
Pour the sauce and mussels on top of and around the fillets, finishing it off with a lovely garnish of red pepper strips.
This meal goes great with some nice white or brown rice which makes it a little more filling and help alleviate the pain if a bite turns out too be a bit too spicy.
