Cod And Artichokes In Saffron Broth Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the potato slices, artichokes, olives, rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Brush the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set the fish on top of the vegetables. Return to the oven and continue baking until the fish is opaque and the vegetables are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the fish with the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Soak the saffron in the boiling water for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Working over the can of tomatoes, break open each tomato, scrape the seeds into the can, and put the seeded tomatoes in a bowl. Squeeze the seeded tomatoes in your hand to break them up thoroughly, then strain the juice from the can into the bowl with the tomatoes. Discard the seeds and set the bowl aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or similar soup pot over medium heat. Add the leek, diced fennel bulb, thyme, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the fennel starts to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the wine. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the stock, tomatoes, potatoes, the saffron and soaking liquid, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the liquid to a boil, partially cover the pot, and lower the heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook, occasionally skimming the scum off the top, until the potatoes and fennel are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the fish into 1- to 2-inch pieces and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add the lemon juice to the soup, then taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed. Add the fish, along with the fennel fronds if you have them. Cook until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily, 5 to 10 minutes. If necessary, use a spoon to gently break the fish into smaller chunks.
• Serve right away. If you need to reheat, do so gently and briefly to avoid overcooking the fish.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the saffron and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the potatoes are mostly tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Season the cod with salt, then add to the pot; submerge about halfway in the broth, with the top of the fish exposed. Cover and simmer until the fish is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove with a spatula and transfer to shallow bowls.
• Gently stir the lemon juice into the pot; season with salt and more red pepper flakes. Spoon the vegetables and broth over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut and season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Cook the fish on the grill pan until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and artichokes and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and stir, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and juice, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
• Ladle the artichoke and tomato broth into shallow bowls. Top with the grilled halibut. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes when they are done.
• While the potatoes are cooking heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat until tender. Stir in the garlic and rosemary. Stir in the fish stock, bring to a simmer and add the saffron, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer five minutes longer, then remove from heat.
• Transfer the mixture from the skillet to a baking dish that will go to the table and hold the cod comfortably, with a bit of room to spare. Place the cod in the baking dish, baste with the saffron broth, then surround with the artichoke hearts and potatoes.
• Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake until the cod is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. It should be opaque in the center but not start to crack apart. Remove the foil. Baste the cod and vegetables with the broth, drizzle the cod with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once, directly from the baking dish, with saffron-aioli toasts on the side.

Steps:

Add tomatoes, fish, shrimp, water, broth, corn and pepper., Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 8-10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and fish flakes easily with a fork. Add spinach during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Discard bay leaves. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.
