Scuba Steve Recipes

Comments:
There are officially a gazillion recipes on the internet about this. The source link is a good starting point, but here I will roughly present how I do it. It's not an exact science. The gist is to impose a sweet/salty to a mild piece of fish, dress it up, and dip it in butter. It should taste close to lobster!

Ingredients:

• 2 6 oz. cod fillets (or Monkfish or similar)
• 2 cups water
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoons salt
• Melted butter (to brush fillets and for dipping)
• 1/2 lemon
• Paprika and lemon-pepper seasoning to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat your broiler.
2. Wrap a broiler pan with aluminum foil (easier clean up) and spray with nonstick spray. Make sure you shape the aluminum foil to the grooves on your broiler pan so the excess liquid has somewhere to go and your fish doesn’t have to sit in it. You can also use a baking pan with a baking rack. Use your imagination with what you have.
3. Mix together the water, sugar, and salt in a medium skillet (or saucepan if sizing up the recipe). Bring to a gentle boil. Place the fish into the water. The water-mixture should fully cover the fish. If it doesn’t, add more water. Return the water to a gentle boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the cod fillet. I usually add my fish frozen for convenience, which will extend cooking time. Usually, when the filet starts to flake, it is time to remove.
4. Remove fillets from water with a slotted spoon or something of the like to drain them (I like to pat dry in paper towels), brush with melted butter, and season with lemon-pepper and paprika. Optionally squeeze some lemon juice over the top.
5. Broil for about 7 minutes on low or until the fillets are opaque and flake with a fork (perhaps a little browned on the edges for visual appeal!). Serve with melted butter.
