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.

3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
7 tablespoons freshly squeezed blood-orange juice, strained (1 to 2 oranges)

  • Reduce the glaze until it thickens: The glaze should be thick and syrupy, so be sure to reduce it until it reaches the desired consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
