Cod With Fennel Dill And Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal or gas grill (for broiling instructions, see the variation below). The fire should be quite hot and the grill rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source.
• When the grill is ready, make a bed of the fennel or dill stalks. Sprinkle the fish lightly with salt and pepper, and lay it (skin side down, if there is a skin side) directly onto the fennel or dill. Close the grill if possible, and cook, without turning, until the fish is done; it will be just about opaque all the way through and offer no resistance to a thin-bladed knife in about 10 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, mince or grind the fennel seeds. Cut about 1 inch off each end of the lemon, and juice those pieces; slice the remaining lemon thinly.
• When the fish is done, remove it from the grill, leaving as much of the stalks behind as possible (some of the burned fronds will adhere to the fish; they are fine to eat in tiny quantities). Sprinkle the fish with the fennel or dill seeds, then decorate it with the lemon slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, and serve.

Steps:

• Season cod with salt and pepper and squeese 2 lemon wedges over; set aside.
• Spray nonstick frypan with veggie spray, heat over high heat, add mushrooms, fennel and onion, reserving 4 onion slices. Cook stirring until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Place the 4 pieces of cod on top of the veggies; place one slice of tomato on top each piece of cod and one slice of reserved onion slices on top of tomato. Sprinkle with Dill and squeese 2 more wedges of lemon over all; cover and simmer until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
• Garnish with remaining lemon wedges and sprigs of fennel leaves.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil to fat in skillet, then cook fennel with salt and pepper over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add broth, cream, tomatoes, and garlic to fennel and cook, partially covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fennel is tender and cream is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
• While fennel cooks, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Season fillets with salt and pepper, then sauté 4 minutes. Turn over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
• Stir mustard and bacon into fennel ragout and season with salt and pepper. Serve cod over fennel ragout.
