Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones to express gratitude for the blessings of the year, and enjoy a delicious meal. While turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes are staples of the holiday, why not add some seafood to the menu this year? Scholars believe that a bounty of seafood was served at the first thanksgiving so try this delicious Roast Cod Bruschetta appetizer on your table this holiday!
Ingredients:
• 1 large fillet of Bristol Cod, portioned
• 3 large Roma Tomatoes, finely chopped
• ½ large red onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp of kosher salt
• ½ tsp of freshly cracked pepper
• 1 tsp of sugar
• 1 Tbs of olive oil
• 1 Tbs of fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 large baguette, sliced
• 16-20 spinach leaves
• ¼ cup of fresh parmesan cheese
Start by adding the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar in a medium bowl, stir and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Portion the cod fillet into smaller individual size portions and place the cod on a baking sheet, drizzle both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake fish for 8-10 minutes. Place the slices of baguette on a baking sheet and drizzle both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and put bread in the oven for the final 3 minutes of cooking time.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and the tomato mixture. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has absorbed and the sauce has thickened.
Assemble the bruschetta, place a piece of fish on each slice of bread, add some spinach leaves, top with sauce, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and place back in the oven for an additional minute or two, garnish with fresh basil, then serve and enjoy!
