BAKED COD WITH ORANGE, CAPER AND OLIVE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel and white pith from orange. Cut twenty 2-inch-long, 1/8-inch-wide strips from orange peel and reserve. Chop orange; place in small bowl.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod should have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid any fish that smells fishy or sour.
- Pat the cod dry before cooking. This will help the fish to brown evenly. You can use a paper towel to pat the fish.
- Season the cod with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, garlic powder, or thyme.
- Bake the cod at a high temperature. This will help the fish to cook quickly and evenly. The ideal temperature for baking cod is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the cod until it is flaky and opaque. The fish is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the internal temperature of the fish using a meat thermometer.
- Serve the cod immediately. Baked cod is best enjoyed when served hot. You can serve it with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite vegetables.
