Recipe Summary Smoky Cod And Parsnip Chowder
A wonderful New England creation, merging the sweetness of parsnips with a smoky cod broth.  Good fish alternatives include haddock, pollack, cusk, or whiting.  Smoked haddock and smoked pollack are good substitutes for the smoked cod.  Use 1 1/2 pounds fresh cod alone if no lightly smoked fish is available.  Great on cool Autumn evenings!  Serve with hot, crusty bread and garnish with fresh chives.Ingredients | Glazed Alaskan Black Cod Buddakan1 pound cod fillets½ pound lightly smoked cod, skin and bones removed½  lemon1 sprig fresh thyme1 pound parsnip, chopped½ pound potatoes3 tablespoons butter1  onion, chopped1 cup milk1 cup heavy whipping creamsalt to tasteground black pepper to tasteDirectionsIf the smoked cod has a strong smoky flavor, soak it in water for 30 minutes, drain, and rinse.In a large saucepan, cover the cod and smoked cod with water, and add the juice of half a lemon and the thyme.  Bring the cooking liquid to a gentle simmer.  Poach the fish for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked and tender.  Remove the fish to a bowl, and reserve the poaching liquid.
