Favorite ling cod recipes?

troutpocket · Sep 2, 2022

I’ve got a rare opportunity this weekend to experiment while my family is away. We eat a lot of fish lately (thanks @Nick Clayton ) but it’s generally prepared one of two ways: pan fried or breaded and fried for tacos or fish n chips. Both of these are excellent but I’m ready for some variety. What do you all like to do with your ling cod and halibut? Asian flavors? Curry? Grilling tips?

Look up a poached in parchment paper recipe. Usually there's some veggies in there, wine, etc. If you want to get away from the fried stuff.

Also... it's a white flaky fish so anything 'halibut' will work. Something like this we do in the air fryer. https://www.thespruceeats.com/baked-halibut-butter-parmesan-topping-3057312

Even more simple... going off the top of my head. Mix up some mayo, lemon juice , dill, melted butter, salt, pepper, in a bowl. Cook your white flaky fish in an air fryer till almost done. Top with your sauce, then top with a healthy dose of Italian bread crumbs, return to air fryer and finish off.

That parchment paper technique looks really good!

I believe it was from an Emeril Lagasse cookbook. I was a weird kid, my interests were fly fishing/tying, bird watching (my uncle owned the wild bird shop of cannon beach), and Cajun cooking, I have quite the collection of Emeril cook books, used to watch him on the weekends on PBS. I
also had a severe lack of girlfriends

haha..

Blackened fish. I've used rockfish, Pacific true cod, ling, and halibut.

Perfect timing on this thread. I am all for the parchment paper & veggies but since he caught it, I have a feeling it will be getting dressed in panko and has a hot date with a cast iron pan tonight. If that plan is ill advised, anyone care to share their favorite kid friendly recipes?

Salt fish gingerly about an hour before cooking. Cook in truffle oil and butter with a handful of fresh herds on high for 4-6 minutes skin side down. Turn down heat to medium, flip fish, and spoon the oil butter mixture over the fish until finished; probably another 4 minutes. Served with a side of risotto or other rice and steamed broccoli.

I might need to get some lingcod out of the freezer now...

I also highly recommend the Good Fish cookbook.

My ex used to do something very similar to this with both ling cod and halibut.
I thought it was excellent on both.

Dijon Crusted Halibut

Delightful baked halibut breaded with a spicy mixture of Dijon mustard, horseradish, fresh Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.

My kids prefer their fish cracker coated and air fried. This is really easy.

Yum... yall nailed it. So many good ideas.

My mom used to broil it with some black pepper, sliced onion and tomato on top. Spoon a little Hollandaise over it on the table. Yum.

Appreciate the reply and enjoy your alone time. Look forward to hearing what you end up doing as your end product looks far better than anything that has ever come out of our air fryer. We are traveling and no air fryer at this AirBnB. The bonus points this place had earned with cast iron have now been negated by lack of air fryer. I will be sure to leave the appropriate feedback for the homeowner on their lack of preparedness. Still highly recommend this spot.

Combined butter, random found spices on site and toasted the panko in the cast iorn before bathing in egg and seasoning before baking. Fresh lime was all that was added, not a bite was left.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

Thanks for sharing,

This is similar to how I do pan fried ling and halibut. My wife makes a butter/shallot/fresh herb/wine reduction.

Tonight I’m trying parchment paper and tomorrow something else….maybe the Parmesan topping. Thanks all for the ideas.

Ling cod two ways since I couldn’t decide. Dill & lemon in one parchment packet and capers, red pepper flakes, and herbs de Provenance in the other. Thin sliced onions and a couple tablespoons butter in both.

I almost screwed up the plate by missing the butter sauce left in the parchment. Almost
