Ingredients
Baked Cod
- 4 (6-ounce) cod filets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Orange Buerre Blanc Sauce
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter cut into 1-tablespoon pieces
- ¼ cup finely chopped shallots
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Instructions
- Season the cod. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cod in a baking dish and drizzle with oil, coating both sides of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Bake the cod. Bake in the oven for 14 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Make the sauce. Meanwhile, while the cod is baking, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, whisk for 30 seconds, then add the wine, vinegar, and orange juice, and continue whisking until the liquid is almost completely reduced (about 2 tablespoons of liquid remaining).
- Finish the sauce. Add the cream and salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low, add the orange zest and remaining butter a few pieces at a time, while whisking rapidly and continuously.
- Serve. Plate the baked cod and drizzle the citrus buerre blanc sauce on top before serving.

Notes
- I do recommend making this sauce right before serving, for the best texture and flavor. If you try to keep it warm for about an hour on a double boiler, you'll have to keep whisking it. And if you refrigerate it overnight, there's a high chance it will separate as you reheat it on the stovetop. So all that is to say, you're better off making it fresh on the spot.
- To store in the fridge: Leftover cod can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
- To freeze for later: You can also freeze it for up to 3 months by wrapping the cod tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil, or use a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn.
- For reheating: When ready to enjoy, you can reheat it in the oven at a low temperature, in the microwave in 20-second increments, or in a skillet over low heat.
