The other day I got an email requesting a fish dish. I had been wanting to try this recipe for some time and thought now would be a great time to test it. I really love when people request recipes because it gets me out of my rut and gets me to try new things.
It was a good opportunity. I have noticed we don't eat enough fish. Paige turns her nose up at it, but I have been able to get her to take some bites and expand her palatte a little. We have something called "Adventure Night" where I make something new. The rule is you must try 2 bites of everything. If you don't like it fine. Eat what you do like on the plate. We all have learned to like a lot of foods this way.
Take 3 oranges and juice them. This will give you 1/2 cup of liquid.
Peel another orange and using a paring knife, slice between the membrane cutting out each segment. Cut the orange slices into pieces.
Finely slice another orange. (This means you're going to need 5 oranges total)
Dice some onion. You need 1/4 cup.
In a bowl mix together 4 tsp cornstarch with 1/2 cup chicken stock. Make sure there aren't any lumps.
In a saucepan melt 3 Tbsp butter.
Saute the onion for a minute or two. Stir so you don't burn the onion.
Sprinkle in 1/2 tsp tarragon.
Add the orange juice. Bring to a boil.
While mixing, add the cornstarch/chicken stock. It will immediately start thickening. Don't let it go too long.
As soon as it coats the back of a spoon, remove from the heat.
Add the orange pieces and 1 tsp salt.
Look at this beautiful piece of halibut. I picked this up at Costco when I was there this weekend. I picked up Rainbow trout too!!! Love it. Rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry.
Put the fish in a baking dish and cover with the orange glaze. Layer your orange slices on top. Put in a 350* oven for 20 minutes.
Here's what it looks like after baking. This would be a great dish to serve for your husband's boss. It is really quite beautiful to look at and light on the palatte. I served this with wild rice pilaf.Printable version:

Suzanne, thanks so much for this recipe. I just might even try a bite of this! I'll let you know how my dh liked it!
thanks again!!
p.s. I'm making the carrot cake too!
Definitely stealing the idea for 'adventure night'. I generally don't have a hard time getting them to eat things, but I have chosen not to cook something just because I didn't think they'd all go for it. I think this might give me a bit of experimentation time. GREAT IDEA. AND that fish looks scrumptious. Definitely adding this to my list of need to cook items!
I love the idea of Adventure Night. I'm going to have to remember that.
I made this last night Suzanne, but substituted the oranges, for raspberries (inspired by your chix recipe :) It was soooooo delightful xoxo
