Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds cod fillet
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips (from 3 cups chips)
- 2 oranges, peeled and thinly sliced into circles
Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F. Finely chop enough onion to measure 3/4 cup and enough cilantro stems to measure 1 tablespoon (reserving the leaves). Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cilantro stems, and jalapeño and cook until softened, 4 minutes.
- Pulse the cod, egg, salt, pepper, and the onion mixture in a food processor until combined but not pureed. Form 8 cod cakes. Coat each cake with the chips.
- Wipe out skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil over medium heat. Add 4 cakes and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Wipe out skillet and repeat with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil and the last 4 cakes.
- Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the remaining onion. Toss with the oranges, 1/2 cup of the cilantro
leaves, and the remaining oil. Serve with the cakes.

Quick Tip
Cilantro stems have a mild though distinct flavor. Use them when you want a slightly less pungent cilantro presence than you'd
get from the leaves.

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
