Baked cod in orange sauce is a delectable and healthy dish that combines the delicate flavor of cod with the vibrant tang of oranges. This classic recipe is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Our article features two variations of this dish: a traditional baked cod in orange sauce and a modern air fryer version.

The traditional baked cod in orange sauce recipe utilizes fresh cod fillets, which are coated in a flavorful mixture of orange juice, zest, herbs, and spices. The cod is then baked until flaky and tender, while the orange sauce thickens and caramelizes, creating a delightful glaze.

For those who prefer a healthier and quicker cooking method, the air fryer version of baked cod in orange sauce is an excellent choice. This recipe uses the same flavorful orange sauce, but the cod fillets are cooked in an air fryer until crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

Both recipes are accompanied by step-by-step instructions, cooking tips, and beautiful images to guide you through the process. We also provide serving suggestions and ideas for customizing the dish to suit your preferences. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, our baked cod in orange sauce recipes are sure to impress your taste buds and become a favorite in your kitchen.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Four 6-ounce-thick cod fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup blood orange juice
1 blood orange, zested, supremed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Remove the fish from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a high heat.
  • Pat the fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt.
  • When the oil is very hot but not smoking, gently add the fish to the pan. DO NOT try to move the fillets. After 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan gently and the fish should unstick itself. If the pan was hot enough, it will release. If not, using a fish spatula, GENTLY scrape it from the bottom of the pan. Cook the fish for 1 more minute and then turn it over, placing it on a wire rack set in a sheet tray. Transfer to the oven and cook until cooked through, another 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Ditch the oil from the pan and add the orange juice, zest, chopped oranges, sugar, vinegar, thyme and a pinch of salt. Bring the liquid to a boil (BTB), reduce it to a simmer (RTS) and reduce the liquid by half. Taste and adjust the seasoning. The sauce should have a great tangy, sweet and sour mix.
  • Spoon the sauce over the seared cod and serve immediately.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
1 fennel bulb, very thinly sliced (about 12 ounces)
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed, halved (about 8 ounces)
1 small orange, preferably blood, thinly sliced
1 (15.5-ounce) can white beans, drained, rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler to high. Mix mayonnaise, red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. garlic, 1 tsp. orange zest, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  • Arrange cod fillets on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread mayonnaise mixture over each fillet.
  • Toss fennel, broccolini, orange, beans, oil, rosemary, and remaining garlic, 1 tsp. orange zest, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Arrange around fish on baking sheet, placing orange slices on top of beans and vegetables.
  • Place baking sheet under broiler and broil until fish is golden-brown on top, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, top each fillet with almonds, then continue to broil until almonds are toasted and crisp and fish is completely cooked through, about 1 minute more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cod fillets. Fresh cod has a mild, delicate flavor that pairs well with the orange sauce.
  • Make sure the cod is cooked through. Cod should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a good quality orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice will give the sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the orange sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it has thickened and is slightly reduced.
  • Serve the cod with your favorite sides. Roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Baked cod in orange sauce is a light, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The orange sauce is a delicious and tangy complement to the mild cod, and the whole dish can be prepared in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give baked cod in orange sauce a try.
