BAKED COD WITH CITRUS HONEY CRUST
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
1 pound of cod (or other flaky white fish like halibut or haddock)
1/2 cup orange juice
3 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup Panko bread crumbs
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Preparation:
1. Mix the orange juice, honey, lime juice, and ginger in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, and reduce by one half.
3. Add butter and stir until melted.
4. Add Panko and stir to mix. Set aside.
5. Lightly coat an oven-proof baking dish with butter or oil.
6. Salt and pepper the fish and place in the baking dish.
7. Cover the fish generously with the seasoned Panko crumbs and place in the oven.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve with your rice and vegetable of choice or a simple Japanese Salad.
*Note: if you are serving to someone who is gluten intolerant, simply omit the bread crumbs and spoon a small amount of the reduced citrus-honey sauce over your fish when it comes out of the oven.
Pair this delicate dish with a not-too-minerally Albariño, a refreshing Vinho Verde, a light Chablis, or a soft Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
