A zesty-flavored mayonnaise spread is the secret to this super-tender flavorful fish, and the glue that holds the almond crust in place. Add white beans, broccolini, fennel, and slices of orange for a quick sheet-pan dinner that cooks under the broiler in just 6 minutes.

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided

2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, divided

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets

1 small orange, preferably blood, thinly sliced

1 (15.5-ounce) can white beans, drained, rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon rosemary leaves

1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped (about 1 ounce)

Preparation

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