Ling Cod with Chipotle Chili Sauce and Street Corn Salsa

Seared B.C. cod fillets set on a smoky, chili-spiced sauce and topped with a tangy, creamy corn salsa. The salsa is richly flavoured like the cobs of street corn sold by small vendors in Mexico are. You could also serve the fish with rice and a steamed green vegetable.

Ling Cod with Chipotle Chili Sauce and Street Corn Salsa

Prep Time30 Minutes

Servings4

Cook Time9 Minutes

Ingredients

3 Tbsp olive oil (divided)

1 1/4 cups fresh corn kernels (see Note)

1 small garlic cove, minced

1 Tbsp sour cream

1 Tbsp mayonnaise

2 Tbsp finely crumbled feta cheese

3 Tbsp chopped cilantro

1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest

1 Tbsp lime juice

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup tomato sauce

1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder (see Note)

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp honey

3 Tbsp water

680 grams B.C. ling or other cod fillets, cut into 4 roughly equal pieces, any bones removed

lime slices and cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Directions

Pour 1 Tbsp olive oil into a cast iron or other heavy skillet set over medium, medium-heat. Add corn and cook and stir until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Spoon corn into a shallow bowl and let cool to room temperature. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, feta, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate salsa until needed.

Combine the tomato sauce, chipotle chili powder, oregano, honey and water in a small pot. Set the chipotle chili sauce over medium-heat, bring to a simmer, and simmer 2 minutes. Remove pot from the heat.

Pat fish dry with paper towel; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a very large non-stick skillet set over medium-high. When oil is hot, add the fish and cook about 3 minutes per side, or until nicely seared and just cooked through. While the fish cooks, set the chipotle chili sauce back over medium heat and return to a simmer.

To serve, spoon some chipotle chili sauce on each of 4 dinner plates. Set a piece of fish on the sauce on each plate. Top the fish with street corn salsa, garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime slices, and enjoy.

Note: One and a half large cobs of corn, after shucking and cutting the kernels off the cob, should yield the amount needed here. Chipotle chili powder is made from dried, ground, smoked jalapeño peppers. It’s sold in our dried herb/spice aisle.
