dish right here folks seriously we are
talking a blast of flavors between that
blackened cod and that garlic yogurt aioli that
just kind sooths it all out
this is a flavor bomb absolutely
delicious plus it's gluten free and it's
very healthy now to make this recipe I'm
gonna be using a cod fillet that I bought
frozen and thawed out just to make
things cheaper the secret when using
frozen fish that you´ve thawed out you wanna
make sure you pat it completely dry
with paper towels remove any of that
extra liquid inside of fish it gives
it a beautiful texture and flavor also
speaking of flavor make sure you use
good quality extra virgin olive oil this
is what's gonna help flavor that cod and
the garlic yogurt aioli for this recipe
I'm using an extra virgin olive oil from
Wild Groves these guys are located in
beautiful Northern California I'm using
their Ascolano extra virgin olive oil this one's
certified extra virgin from the state of
California and it's they're olive oil
that's won the most awards guys
intense and fruity aroma and an
incredible balance of flavors this is
what's gonna take this dish to the next
level greatness guys get yourself a bottle
or two of this you're gonna absolutely
love it link in the description box
below alright folks let's get started
okay guys we're gonna begin by making
our garlic yogurt alioli I've got a
container here of Greek yogurt this is about
half a cup let's add this into a mortar
next we're gonna finely shred in one
large clove of garlic will squeeze in
one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice pour
in one tablespoon of this Wild Groves
Ascolano extra virgin olive oil
season it with sea salt and a generous
portion of freshly cracked black pepper
and we're gonna mix this together until
everything is well combined as you guys
can see it comes together really quickly
once it's well mixed get in there give it
a quick try make sure all the seasonings
are spot-on wow that tastes absolutely
incredible guys let's go ahead and cover
this with some saran wrap and we're
gonna set it aside
okay guys for the next step we're making
our blackening seasoning let's add one
teaspoon of dried parsley one teaspoon
of dried oregano 1 teaspoon of dried
thyme one teaspoon of garlic powder one
teaspoon of onion powder and for the
last ingredient one teaspoon of sweet
smoked Spanish paprika and we're gonna
mix this together until it's well
combined
and for the final ingredient to prepare
I've got a fillet here of cod this is
400 grams which is about 14 ounces again
guys I bought this frozen and fully
thawed it out what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna pat it down completely dry with
paper towels cut it in half to end up 2
with two fillets and then season them
with sea salt and freshly cracked black
pepper and making sure to change the
paper towels at least one time to get
all that liquid out of the fish
now we're gonna grab our seasoned cod fillets
and we're gonna coat them with the blackening mix
okay guys let's start
cooking our cod I'm gonna be using a
nonstick frying pan I'm gonna heat this
with a medium heat and then pour in a
generous tablespoon of that Wild Groves
ascolano extra virgin olive oil
you don't want to use a medium high heat
here
otherwise the extra virgin olive is
gonna lose its flavor and you want to
keep that flavor so it goes into the Cod
okay guys after heating our extra virgin
olive oil for one minute you don't want
to go any longer and again we are on a
medium heat not a medium-high heat let's
add our cod fillets into the pan skin
side up
it's been three and a half minutes since we
added our cod fillets into the pan now
I´m gonna flip them the thickness of these
fillets are about 1/2 an inch
okay guys it's been exactly seven
minutes since we added our cod fillets into
the pan that is three and a half minutes
per side they should be perfectly cooked
let's go ahead and remove them from the
heat and transfer them into a dish
alright let's start plating our dish
I'm gonna grab some of this garlic
yogurt aioli transfer it into a small bowl
we'll add our garlic yogurt aioli
to the plate with the blackened cod
and garnish the dish with a slice of lemon
and some fresh chives
okay guys our cod dish is done
it smells absolutely amazing in here
I'm gonna cut that cod open that way you guys
can see what it looks like inside and give it a try
I cannot wait to try this here we go
that is so good first things first it's
the texture of the cod it is spot on guys
three and a half minutes per side
on a medium heat thickness of these
fillets half an inch nothing worse than
overcooked fish and as for the flavors
that blackening seasoning is just a
punch of flavors it's an explosion but
then that garlic yogurt aioli kind of
soothes at all absolutely amazing and
that extra virgin olive oil from Wild Groves
really shines through guys incredible dish
