Cod With Crawfish Bayou Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onions, peppers and garlic until wilted. Add the flour and stir until a blond roux is achieved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar, chicken base, crab base, granulated garlic, basil, black pepper, cayenne pepper and thyme. Add the milk and wine and cook over medium heat until the milk thickens, stirring constantly, about 6 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and fully incorporates into the sauce. Add the crawfish tails and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Add the green onions just before serving.
• For the catfish: Sprinkle the catfish with Creole seasoning. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Coat the catfish in flour and dip in the milk/egg mixture, then coat with cornmeal. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet. Fry the catfish until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Serve the catfish with the crawfish au gratin sauce.

Steps:

• For the miso sauce and marinade: Combine the mirin and sake in a pot and bring to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Add the sugar to the mixture and dissolve. Add the miso and cook until a light caramel color is achieved. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Once completely cooled, separate out the amount desired for drizzling on the burgers.
• For the cod: Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets before marinating. Take the remaining amount of miso marinade and rub it over the fish. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 2 days.
• For the amazu dressing: Combine the sugar, rice vinegar, salt and kombu in a pot and bring to a simmer to mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the kombu.
• For the amazu salad: Toss together the arugula, radishes and pickled red ginger in a large bowl. Toss with the amazu dressing.
• Remove the cod from the fridge and remove any excess miso marinade off the fish. Broil on medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the burgers: Toast the brioche buns. Add 1 piece of broiled cod fillet and drizzle the reserved miso sauce over the fillet. Top with 1 cup of the amazu salad.
