SEARED COD WITH BLOOD ORANGE GLAZE
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.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of the juice; let stand until soft, about 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and 4 tablespoons juice to a boil. Combine remaining tablespoon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir until dissolved; whisk into boiling orange juice. Remove from heat. Stir in softened gelatin. Cool to lukewarm, and pour over cake.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy blood oranges for the best flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor and aroma.
- Use a microplane grater to get a fine zest.
- If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a regular grater, but be careful not to grate too much of the white pith, which can make the glaze bitter.
- Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Taste the glaze and adjust the sweetness and acidity to your liking.
- Use the glaze immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Blood orange glaze is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from roasted chicken and pork to grilled fish and vegetables. It is also a great way to add a pop of color and flavor to your holiday table. With its bright red color and sweet-tart flavor, blood orange glaze is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
