Sweet tangy fishy goodness
Recently pineapple went on sale and actually was fresh and not about to rot before it got back to the house. In celebration, I may have over purchased a little bit. Luckily this dish came out perfect. Make sure to use a stronger flavored fish, like haddock or cod, to offset the sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeno sauce.
Cod with Spicy Pineapple Sauce
- 1/2 pineapple skinned, cored and cut into medium sized chunks
- 2 lbs fresh cod
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and cut into quarters
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 jalapenos sliced in half and seeded
- 1/2 medium red onion chopped roughly
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange
- Salt/pepper
Season fish with salt, pepper and juice from lemon and orange. Let fish marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Place pineapple, red pepper, garlic, onion and jalapeno in a baking dish and roast at 375 degrees until pineapple starts to brown, about 45 minutes. Cool then blend into a thick sauce using the pan juices when needed. Place fish in pan and cover with sauce. Bake at 350 degrees until done, about 20-30 minutes. Serve with sauce.
That sounds and looks delicious !
We have been trying to cook more fish lately and I was trying to remember a recipe using pineapple and oranges. Still cannot remember the details but now I do not have to worry. This one will be perfect! Sounds delicious. : )
Oh yum!!! How good does that look??? Craving!!!
Looks great and I know it was delicious. Sounds like a nice blend of flavors.
I like the idea of marinating the fish in pineapple juice. Fantastic!
Hope you made some cocktails as well with all the pineapples!
This sounds good — can’t go wrong with roasted pineapple and red peppers: I wouldn’t have thought to blend them into a sauce.
This is definitely a unique recipe that has me intrigued. Okay, I’m going to give this a try. I trust your dishes Greg.. well I always end up loving your dishes my fellow southerner
Am intrigued – very original. Was it sweet? Tangy?
The spicy pineapple sauce sounds delicious!
This looks delicious!
What a combo of flavors and unlike anything I’ve had before. You guys are filling up my “must try” recipe file. Really.
Very nice idea. Pineapple was the flavour of the day for me yesterday – coincidence:)
Pineapple must be in season, Jed just made a ham with a pineapple glaze! Love this iinfirm fish. Somehow I can manage the opaque on fish, but not on a ham! Go figure.
And the typo! Can you figure it out?
Great sauce, Greg. I’d do it with swordfish or mahi-mahi (the fish so nice, they named it twice!). Maybe with grilled shrimp.
The acid in the pineapple juice will partially ‘cook’ the fish, so less is more with the marinating, especially if you have a thinner fillet.
This fish looks really tasty! Great recipe.
Hmmm. I’m not a cod guy, but I’d eat that.
Fresh-cut pineapple is one of my favorite things. Ever. And I love using it in sauces and salsas like this. I’m sure it was delicious. Well done –
I love cod but never thought to add pineapple with it. The sauce looks great, the color too!
I am on the constant lookout for fish recipes (since I didn’t eat it for many years!) and yours always look so flavorful. I will have to come back to this one…
I love fresh pineapple . . . that sauce looks amazing.
I love this.. wait.. is that a banana daiquiri down there!? BYE! c
What a creative twist with all the ingredients I might use in a salsa.
Still have some pineapple.. it’s a good thing, what a pretty dish!!
I wonder if I would enjoy cod more this way. The sauce looks fantastic!
Sweet, sour, savoury, hot and fish! thats a really good combination
Cod is my favorite fish and this sounds good cause I like pineapple, too.
Wow, look at that color! I was going to say that I should make this for my family, but my mom doesn’t do well with spicy and my sis doesn’t like pineapple. At least my dad and I would go nuts for it!
What a combination of flavours – and such vibrant colours, too.
