How to Make Cod With Orange Ginger Sauce

  1. Rinse 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 cup orange juice to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Gently place the cod fillets in a single layer in the skillet.
  5. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Transfer the cooked cod to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and ½ cup orange juice until smooth.
  8. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Stir in ½ cup segmented orange pieces (about 1 medium orange).
  10. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the oranges are heated through.
  11. Serve the sauce generously over the cod fillets. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions (optional).
