Broiled Cod with Fennel and Orange

From the kitchen of Carly

Bright, citrusy cod gets topped with a garlicky mayo and finished under the broiler until golden. Fennel and broccolini roast alongside white beans and blood orange slices, turning this into a complete weeknight meal that tastes way more impressive than it actually is.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 11/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 12 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
  • 12 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, divided
  • 11 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 14 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
  • 11 fennel bulb, very thinly sliced (about 12 ounces)
  • 11 bunch broccolini, trimmed, halved (about 8 ounces)
  • 11 small orange, preferably blood, thinly sliced
  • 11 (15.5-ounce) can white beans, drained, rinsed
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • 11 tablespoon rosemary leaves
  • 11/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1chopped (about 1 ounce)

Instructions

  1. Heat broiler to high. Mix mayonnaise, red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. garlic, 1 tsp. orange zest, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.

  2. Arrange cod fillets on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread mayonnaise mixture over each fillet.

  3. Toss fennel, broccolini, orange, beans, oil, rosemary, and remaining garlic, 1 tsp. orange zest, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Arrange around fish on baking sheet, placing orange slices on top of beans and vegetables.

  4. Place baking sheet under broiler and broil until fish is golden-brown on top, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, top each fillet with almonds, then continue to broil until almonds are toasted and crisp and fish is completely cooked through, about 1 minute more.
