Bienvenidos welcome guys to another episode of
Spain on Fork
today we´re making an incredible seafood dish
that truly hits on all notes
spicy braised Spanish cod with vegetables
ladies and gentleman
this is one of the greatest seafood dishes ever
it´s very elegant but it´s very simple
it´s easy to make and it´s done in under 30 minutes
the perfect dish for any occasion
plus it´s gluten-free and low carb
now to make this recipe
we´re gonna be using a technique called braising
if you´ve never braised anything before
it´s a very simple technique
don´t be intimated by it
basically we´re just gonna be searing the fish
without cooking it all the way through
cause we´re gonna finish cooking it
in a beautiful rich broth
it´s such an incredible way to enjoy fish
and it keeps it very moist
and it´s very forgiving
just in case you accidentally over-cook your fish
and we´re also gonna be using
2 types of smoked paprikas
the hot kind and the sweet kind
I´m gonna be using
Kiva´s sweet smoked Spanish paprika
and Kiva´s hot smoked Spanish paprika
both of these Spanish paprikas
have such an amazing flavor to them
and they truly make this dish
essential to this recipe
link in the description box below
where you guys can get these
alright we´re gonna begin by thinly slicing
2 cloves of garlic
next we´re gonna finely mince 1/2 of an onion
grab a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper
make sure you wash them
and pat them dry before you cut them
and I´m gonna use about a 1/4 of each bell pepper
cut each piece into thin strips
and roughly chop it
and as I´m cutting all my ingredients
I always like to add them into a bowl
that way I´m not over-crowding the cutting board
next we´re gonna grab 1 carrot and peel it
I always like to have a bowl underneath
just for any easy clean up
and cut it into thin slices
now let´s get to the star of the dish
I´ve got this beautiful fillet here of Spanish cod
you can use whatever type of cod that you like
this is 450 grams which is about 16 ounces
I bought mine frozen
just because its makes it a lot cheaper
and its been thawed out
I´m gonna pat it down with some paper towels
to make sure I remove any of that extra moisture inside
cut the fillet into 2 pieces
season them with sea salt
and freshly cracked black pepper
alright let´s start cooking our dish
I´m gonna grab a sautee pan
heat it with a medium-high heat
and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
after heating the oil for 2 minutes
add the pieces of cod into the pan skin side up
after cooking these fillets for 3 minutes
I´m gonna go ahead and flip them
now the thickness of these fillets are 1-inch
so 3 minutes is the perfect timing
is yours are a little thinner a little bit less
if they´re a little bit thicker a little bit more
ok its been 2 minutes since we flipped the cod
this is ready to go they´re not fully cooked yet
but that´s ok
let´s go ahead and remove them from the apn
add them to a dish
and cover it with some foil paper to keep them warm
now using the same pan with the same heat
add the slices of garlic
and the diced onions
and mix them together with that oil
making sure to scrape up anything that was left over
from that beautiful cod
after about 2 minutes
and our onions are already translucent
let´s add the diced bell peppers
and the slices of carrot
and mix it all together until it´s well combined
about 3 minutes after adding
the bell peppers and the carrots
I´m gonna season with 1/2 a teaspoon of
sweet smoked paprika
1/2 a teaspoon of hot smoked paprika
some sea salt
and freshly cracked black pepper
and mix it all together
right after you´re done mixing this
add 1/2 a cup of white wine into the pan
you wanna do this pretty quickly
that way that paprika doesn´t get a bitter flavor to it
3 minutes after adding the wine
and you see that its reduced in half
I´m gonna add 1/2 a cup of fish broth
very important to use a high-quality fish broth here
it´s been about 4 minutes
since we added the broth into the pan
and everything has reduced it´s thickend up
this looks beautiful
let´s add the cod fillets back into the pan
place a lid on top
and lower the fire to a low heat
and we´re gonna cook this for about 2 minutes
that is gonna finish cooking up our cod
this is gonna be such an amazing dish
2 minutes later our dish is ready to go
remove the lid from the pan
and remove the pan from the heat
to plate the dish
I´m gonna add some of those vegetables and sauce
into a shallow bowl
add a fillet of cod on top of the vegetables
then spoon in some of that spicy sauce
on top of the cod
and garnish the dish with some freshy chopped parsley
ok guys our dish is done
it smells so amazing in the kitchen
I´m gonna get in there give it a try
and let you guys know how it turned out
ok guys here we go
first things first everything is perfectly cooked
those vegetables they´re so tender
beautiful flavors to them
the cod is perfectly cooked as well
it´s nice and flaky
amazing flavors to this dish
it does have a little bit of spiceness to it
from that 1/2 tsp of the smoked paprika
but it´s a perfect balance of spiceness
amazing dish done in 30 minutes
