Floral and fragrant ground coriander seasons mayonnaise-slathered cod. Finish the fillet with a generous dusting of panko breadcrumbs for a crispy coating. Then in the oven it goes, along with orange slices and fennel wedges, until everything turns a beautiful golden brown. The trio of cod, orange, and fennel is a delicious flavor medley. All that’s left to do is hydrate couscous with boiling water for just five minutes done. Dinner is served. Ingredients 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for baking sheet 4 5-ounce skinless cod fillets 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander, divided 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1/2 cup panko 1 large navel orange, halved 1 medium fennel bulb, cut into 12 wedges, fronds reserved and chopped 1 cup couscous Directions Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in upper third of oven.
