I love this recipe.

I make it almost every week now but because I have a gluten free diet I make polenta with it instead and pan-fry my fish in corn meal. Very yummy.

FOR THE HALI-BUT

I made this lil gem on the weekend but i used halibut instead!

The panko kicks ass -what a quick and delish way to cook fish!

More spice!

I thought this was absolutely delicious, but I certainly think that two jalapenos would work! Maybe I cooked mine for too long and the spice went away, but I thought this needed that extra bite.

Regardless, it was delicious!

Pan-seared Cod

With over 50 kilos of Queen Charlotte Islands white fish, including a lot of ling cod, this recipe is just perfect. The recipe does well with halibut and yelloweye rockfish (red snapper) as well. Very tasty and healthy.

Great but hectic recipe!

I had a great time making this recipe but it required a lot of quick work. I never got around to doing the suggested couscous.

With a bit more preparation on my part this will be a great one for having people over.

Pan-seared cod

Terrific recipe! The coriander is wonderful with the panko cumbs.
I precooked the ragout (minus the basil) then simply cooked the fish after guests arrived.
The coucous I used is finer than the courser grain pictued here. Are they different?Where can I find Middle Eastern Coucous?

Middle Eastern Couscous

Most specialty food shops will carry middle eastern couscous. Here is a Drill-down to explain the differences between the many varieties of couscous (cut and paste the address into your explorer bar). In Vancouver we pick it up at the Grainery on Granville Island or at Galloways.

Re: Middle Eastern Couscous

There are text recipes that go with all videos. Here is the one for the couscous. rouxbe.com/recipes/62/text

And here is the one for the whole cod dish.

As for the couscous I am sure that you could order it online. Where abouts are you in Barcelona? (I was a Nanny there when I was younger).

Hope that helps. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Middle Eastern Couscous

Thks so much Dawn. I live outside Barcelona near the sea but if I go shopping "downtown" I go to the center. Maybe I can find this pearl couscous in the store of "El Corte Inglés " do you remember it ? by the way in which area did you stay ? hope you enjoyed your stay
