The Dish

In the following video, chef Trochon shares his classic French dish, spiced black cod with chorizo crust and bell pepper coulis. A French preparation, coulis consists of pureed or strained vegetables or fruits thickened into a sauce. Vegetable coulis are frequently served with meat and fruit coulis are typically served with desserts.

Watch as chef Trochon presents one of his favorite recipes using Samsung Chef Collection:

The Recipe

First, to prepare the black cod, slice the chorizo into very thin slices. Place on each block of cod. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside while it forms its shape.

Next, cook bell peppers in the Chef Collection FlexDuo™ oven at 210C or 410F for 15 minutes. Peel, remove seeds, and blend each pepper separately. Pass each pepper puree through a sieve.

Unwrap cod and place in a non-stick pan in the oven, baking for 5 minutes at 180C or 356F.

To prepare the shellfish, cook in a pot with a glass of white wine. Add a spoonful of finely chopped onions and parsley. Season with pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the juice into a jar and add fresh cream and butter. Foam into a creamy shellfish juice.

Plating: Draw a line of each pepper coulis on the plate. Place the cod, cooked white beans and shellfish on the plate. Add a small dash of olive oil. Surround the cod with the shellfish juice. Finally, decorate with paprika and herbs.

Club des Chef Tips and Tools

Chef Trochon starts with the freshest ingredients, stored in Samsung Chef Collection four-door refrigerator. With chef-inspired features, the Chef Collection Refrigerator offers Precise Chef Cooling™ that minimizes temperature fluctuation inside. Its Triple Cooling system features three evaporators that deliver different and accurate temperature settings and exceptional humidity control in all three compartments. The Chef Pan can be used to transfer meals right into the oven and then to the WaterWall™ Dishwasher for easy cleaning.
