Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • 4 3.5-ounce black cod fillets, pinbones removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or mint

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, orange zest, lemon zest, ginger, and cayenne.
  2. 2
    Place the cod in a baking dish and season each piece with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt.
  3. 3
    Pour half of the orange juice mixture over the cod and turn to coat well.
  4. 4
    Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Preheat the oven to 400F.
  6. 6
    Remove the cod from the refrigerator, uncover, and add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish.
  7. 7
    Bake just until the fillets are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each fillet registers 137F; it will take 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  8. 8
    Meanwhile, combine the remaining orange juice mixture and the mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
  9. 9
    Pour the reduction over the fillets, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve immediately.
  10. 10
    This versatile, delicious marinade is great with other fish, such as sea bass, salmon, and halibut.
  11. 11
    These flavors also pair nicely with Warm Napa Cabbage Slaw (page 92).
  12. 12
    You can also cook the fish on a grill.
  13. 13
    Wipe the marinade off the fillets and rub them with 1 teaspoon of light sesame oil.
  14. 14
    Grill over low, even heat for about 4 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily and the center of each fillet registers 137F.
  15. 15
    Store tightly wrapped in an airtight container in the refrigerator
  16. 16
    for 1 to 2 days.
