  5. 1 bunch parsley, leaves only, chopped
  6. 2 teaspoons pureed garlic
  7. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  8. Dash of white pepper
  9. 1 cup hickory chips
  10. 1/2 cup coarse salt
  11. 1/2 large onion, sliced
  12. 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  13. 3 bay leaves
  14. 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  15. 1 1-inch length fresh ginger, sliced thinly
  16. 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  17. 1/4 teaspoon whole allspice
  18. 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
  19. 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  20. 2 cups water
  21. 6 (6-ounce) black cod fillets

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potato Salad Vinaigrette: Using a mandoline or food processor fitted with a 2-millimeter slicing blade, slice potatoes across width as thinly as possible. Place in a large bowl and wash in cold, running water until water runs clear. 
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, bring back to a boil, and remove from heat. Drain in a colander. In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with red onion and reserve. 
  3. Whisk remaining ingredients in a small bowl to form a vinaigrette. Pour over potatoes and onions, and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. 
  4. Prepare Cod: Soak hickory chips in water for an hour. Meanwhile, combine brine ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, strain into a ceramic or glass roasting pan, and chill. When cool, marinate cod fillets about 15 minutes at room temperature. 
  5. Make a stove top smoker with that big old pot you’ve been meaning to throw away. (Or line a good pot with aluminum foil to keep it from aging quickly.) Place chips on bottom of pot and a rack above them. Cover pot, place on a burner over high heat. When chips start smoking, place fish on rack, cover, and cook over moderate heat 10 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer fish to a platter, cover with plastic wrap and chill. 
  6. To serve, line 6 serving plates with a thin layer of Potato Salad Vinaigrette. Cover each with a chilled fish fillet and serve.
