Cod is a lean fish that can need some help in the flavor department. In this twist on baccalΓ arrancanato, a salt cod dish thatβs quite popular in Molise along the Adriatic coast of Italy, fresh cod gets a boost from a handful of pantry staples such as breadcrumbs, raisins, and lemon. A healthy pour of olive oil gives the fish some needed richness while a splash of white wine helps to create just enough sauciness. A minute or two under the broiler at the end makes the nutty, raisin-studded breadcrumb topping golden, crunchy, and quite delicious. Since fresh cod doesnβt require soaking like salt cod, this recipe is ideal for a weeknight meal served with rice. βAnna Gass
