Total Time: 25 minutes.
Active Time: 25 minutes.
Makes 4 servings of 3 oz cod plus ⅓ cup salsa and about 1 tablespoon sauce per serving.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless cod, cut into 4 portions

¾ teaspoon coarse kosher salt plus a pinch, divided

¼ teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup Orange Tangerine Juicy Juice® 100% Juice

1 tablespoon honey

2 oranges

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

3 to 8 dashes hot sauce, to taste, optional

 

  1. Pat cod filets dry with paper towel. Sprinkle ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper all over the cod. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod and cook without moving until the bottom is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the filets over with a slotted spatula, and reduce heat to medium low. Allow fish to continue cooking until just barely cooked through and fish flakes when gently probed with a knife, 2 to 4 minutes longer depending on thickness.
  2. Remove the fish to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Add Orange Tangerine Juicy Juice® 100% Juice and honey to the skillet, increase heat to high and bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits. Let boil, whisking occasionally until the juice is reduced to about ⅓ cup and has thick syrupy consistency, 5 to 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cut peel off orange. Chop orange into small chunks. Stir orange, cilantro, red onion, hot sauce and the remaining pinch salt in a small bowl.
  4. Place fish on four dinner plates, drizzle with the orange honey sauce and top with the orange salsa.
