Maple Orange-Glazed Panfish


Maple Orange-Glazed Panfish
*by Wayne Phillips* Marinating panfish fillets in a mixture of orange juice and maple syrup gives you a succulent, flavorpacked meal.
Ingredients for four servings Boneless panfish fillets Salt and black pepper Marinating liquid One-half cup orange juice concentrate One-third cup maple syrup 1 garlic clove, finely minced 2 Tbsp. soy sauce Procedure Mix marinating ingredients together in a baking dish. Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper before placing in mixture and marinating for 2 to 3 hours. Bake in a 400-degree oven until fillets are opaque. This should take about 10 minutes per inch of fillet thickness. Baste the cooked fillets with marinating liquid before serving.
Serve Roasted vegetables like potatoes, squash, beets, carrots and parsnips are excellent with the fish. Try to use root vegetables that have a milder flavor instead of stronger-flavored ones like rutabagas. Hints Spooning the marinating liquid over the fillets before serving increases their flavor and adds an extra touch of moisture to the finished dish. PDF FILE OF THIS RECIPE
