Still don’t have a camera, I apologize
But this recipe is sure delicious!!! The fish came out nice and moist.
Beer Poached Cod
- 1 can beer
- 4 fillets of cod (I just used a package of frozen cod that had roughly 4 fillets in it
- 1 Tbs cheasapeke bay seasoning
- Lemon wedges
Empty can of beer into a saute pan. The beer should be high enough to reach about halfway up the fillets. Bring to a boil and put cod into pan, season with about half of the bay seasoning and let poach till the sides of the cod are flaky, about 4-5 minutes. Flip fish over, season with remaining bay seasoning and cook until done through, only about another couple minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on how big the fillets are. Fish is done as soon as it’s flakes easily with a fork, so if you aren’t sure, just take a fork and see if flakes apart easily. As soon as fish is done, remove from liquid and squeeze lemon juice on it. I served these with tartar sauce.
FYI, if you are out of tartar sauce, like I was, you can make a quick version by mixing pickle relish with mayonnaise. Works good in a pinch!
Does the beer overpower in this recipe? How beer-ish did it taste? I’m super into seafood right now so I definitely want to try this!
Not beer-ish at all! I think partly because it only poaches in it for minutes so it doesn’t pick up much of the beer flavor. I just used it because I didn’t want to use something like water and I didn’t have wine on hand either. Try it! You won’t be disappointed
