I thought this name was funny as my wife is on business in Amsterdam this week. Actually when I think of cod, I think of when I worked in Fall River, Massachusetts the Portuguese capital of the US. I think cod, I think clams, chorizo, kale, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, white wine, I think Fall River. Well I wanted to try something new and different. I love corned beef hash but I also love Caldo Verde, so why not a crab-chorizo hash as a crust on some cod, all the flavors of the classic Portuguese soup and some clams just because. The crust is simply finely shredded potato, crab, cooked chorizo and some egg to hold it together. Place on the fish and cooked until a crispy and crunchy crust forms and the fish is soft and flaky. Served over a sauté of roasted tomatoes, white beans, garlic and baby kale. Then there are the clams, steamed and served in a white wine broth around the fish. And then the fish is crowned with decorative potato rounds for extra crunch just becuase.
Crab Stuffed Tilapia
Tilapia, it is seems to be on every menu. It is a very mild, easy to cook and affordable fish. Our 4oz fillets are extra nice, they are clean label, nothing added. As a chef, this makes huge difference as it cooks more naturally than treated product. Because of this I decided to do a somewhat unique “stuffed” tilapia. Place the tilapia fillet around the inside of a ring mold, fill with a classic Maryland style crab cake, drizzle with a little white wine and melted butter. They are roasted in the ring mold until the crab cake is golden brown and delicious and the fish is flaky, delicate and moist. Serve over wilted greens with slow roasted tomatoes and finish with a light white wine sauce and a drizzle of good EVOO.
Miso Glazed Salmon
A classic marinade of white miso, mirin, sugar, ginger and garlic on our 4oz salmon. Broiled until it is zed with a deep caramelized crust. Served over a succotash with edamame, corns, bell pepper, onion and scallion. And finished with a sauce loaded with some of our Special crab meat, mirin, soy and butter. Recipes to follow.
