Roasted Cod With Tangerine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees; if you have a baking stone, use it. Finely grate the zest of the tangerines, without grating any of the bitter white part. (On a good grater, you should be able to get away with one swipe per section of skin, rather than rubbing over and over.) Set aside. Juice the tangerines, and measure 1 1/4 cups of the juice. Set the juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce, stirring occasionally, to about 1/2 cup; this will take at least 10 minutes.
• Place a large ovenproof skillet, preferably nonstick, over high heat, and add the tablespoon of olive oil. If necessary, cut the cod into serving pieces so it will fit into the skillet. When the oil smokes, pour out any excess. (You need only a film.) Add the fish and put the skillet in the oven; set a timer for 6 minutes.
• The fish is done when it offers little or no resistance when a thin-bladed knife passes through it and when the flesh is opaque, or nearly so, throughout. Unless unusually thick, it will be done in about 8 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, season the tangerine sauce with salt and cayenne; it should have something of a bite. Add the coriander, if you choose. Whisk in the butter or oil a little at a time, until the sauce is smooth and thick. Taste, adjust seasoning and add the grated zest; cook 15 seconds longer. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over it, and garnish with the herb.

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of tangerine juice in sauce pan along with lemon juice, butter, and salt.
• Put pan on low heat.
• You want to heat up the mixture without boiling it.
• The butter should be completely melted and sauce steaming.
• While the main ingredients are heating up, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of tangerine juice with the corn starch and mix until smooth.
• Once the sauce is steaming slowly whisk the corn starch mixture into the pan.
• Keep whisking until sauce thickens.
• Once sauce has thickened, remove from heat and serve over you favorite steamed vegetables (it is excellent over broccoli), fish, or chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• In a baking dish large enough to eventually accomodate the cod fillets, place the tomatoes in a single layer. Drizzle 1/2 of the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast the tomatoes until they are very soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the tomatoes from the oven and decrease temperature to 350°F Place tomatoes in a small bowl, add the garlic and basil, toss to combine well and set aside.
• Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining olive oil over the fillets. Place the cod in the baking dish the tomatoes were roasted in and pour wine and tomato mixture over the fish. Cover the dish with foil and bake the fish until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve immediately.
