Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups tangerine juice (from at least 1 1/2 pounds tangerines) and zest of the fruit
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds cod or other mild white fish
Salt to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, optional
2 tablespoons butter (preferred) or olive oil
Minced parsley, cilantro or dill for garnish, optional

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.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The cod was cooked well and the vegetables were roasted nicely. Overall, it was a good dish, but not one that I would make again.

This recipe was a fail. The cod was dry and the tangerine sauce was bland. I don't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The tangerine sauce was good, but I think it could have used a bit more flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The cod was overcooked and the tangerine sauce was curdled. I don't know what went wrong, but I will not be making this dish again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The tangerine sauce didn't have much flavor and the cod was a bit dry. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful sauce.
